Default Sea Harrier FA2 - a modern-day F6D Missileer?

In sci.military.naval Brian Sharrock twisted the electrons to say:
The three 'Invincible class, Through-Deck-Cruiser, vessels that were
inherited are to be replaced by _two_ something? ; although nobody is yet
cutting metal, onto which will be embarked something else?


Well to be honest there's really only two Invincibles left (Illustrious &
Ark Royal), since it looks unlikely that Invincible herself will ever go
to sea again ...

Meanwhile the RN FAA's and the RAF's Harrier entities have been absorbed
into 'Joint Force Harrier' and somewhere along the way the RN's
Fighter/Strike aircraft have been .... ?


.... but if they spent the money replacing the engines on the FA2s, then
what would happen to the moreschoolsandhospitals?
