"Asturias56 -Can you predict the future? No? As for manpower, if the politicians had not cut it back so wildly in 2010, or if they (Cameron) had given the RN the extra 1500 personnel they expected in 2015 then we would be much better off"
Agreed - but that's where we are - and where a lot of people thought we'd be. What do we do now with the current constraints on manpower? What are the priorities for the British navy??? And don't say " we'll get more men" because I don't think you will.............
