Have it join a combined Australian, Japanese, American task force and sail it up and down the SCS.
Still a one battle navy. Even more frigates to be decommissioned in the latest financial....erm, I mean defence review. With fewer escort destroyers & frigates, one or both carriers will probably be sold soon to India. Britain doesn't have enough ships to complete 2 aircraft carrier battle groups & take on routine patrolling tasks or convoy escort in case of war with Russia. Keep ducking 🙉
