        Logistic wise that would be hell, putting them on the tanker and getting them off for a short passage would waste time and resources

        Does not alter the fact that the Royal Navy is FAR TOO small and does not have enough ships or personnel, and neither do the Army or RAF have enough personnel or capability.
