Unveiling the strategic defence review, David Cameron said defence spending would fall by 8% over four years.
The RAF and Navy will lose 5,000 jobs each, the Army 7,000 and the Ministry of Defence 25,000 civilian staff.
Axing the Harrier and Ark Royal means no planes will be able to fly from British aircraft carriers until 2019.
Mr Cameron opened his Commons' statement by denying the review was simply a "cost saving exercise", saying it was a "step change in the way we protect this country's security interests".
