they also say the RN will get new frigates T32, Solid Supply vessels and underwater surveillance vessels. A third of the surface destroyer and frigate fleet will be retired along with half the SSN's before replacements arrive. Reckon that Radakin isn't flavour of the month as CDS and it will be Sanders from teh Army.

Army to be reduced by 10,000 by 2024 and to another 2500 to go by 2030 - target size 70,000 men. 2 out of 4 armoured brigades to be cut and 23 battalions to be shrunk/cut. Cancel Warrior upgrade

Looks like a lot of jam tomorrow stuff - you have to believe that the money for the replacement kit will come at some future time (cough, cough, cough...)
