I read your post, it was just a repeat of the previously incorrect content from your previous one. Bolding and underlining incorrect text does not make it correct. Type 42s were no more or less designed for upgrades and modifications than Bristol yet they were successfully upgraded and there was no particular cost associated with them being upgraded that would not also have been present with Bristol.The history of the period is well documented with a wealth of excellently researched books having been produced by some outstanding authors. The basic reality remains the same, the RN needed hull numbers in order to meets its commitments, it could not do that with Type 82s (this was discovered even prior to CVA01 cancellation); there is an entire file in the national archives at Kew containing the documents that outline this and this is referenced by Friedman and Ed Hampshire, the data exists in archive form and has been published. It was an internal RN analysis that produced the T42 not some political/civil service conspiracy.
