I can't see how calling for more T45's, more frigates, more SSN's and more minesweepers for the RN makes me "anti-UK defence"
As for laughing at using the press and the BBC as sources I'm sure you'd get a bigger laugh by suggesting people trust the MoD ....................... would you?
Why am I concerned (along with well over half the poster on this thread)? No man is an island - the decline of RN capability affects the whole of the Western military force. As one of the few remaining "blue water" navies it has an even bigger impact
