No, in fairness to them, Daring (god that is an UGLY ship) was ordered by this lot, as I believe were the three River OPV, although only after Vosper made an offer they couldn't refuse. The LSD(A) are also down to this lot and will be very useful once we get them fixed, but again spectacularly ugly. Largs Bay is in Pompey at the minute and turn my stomach every time I get the ferry.
Probably a good basis for a thread on Rum Ration - are BAES and all the other ship designers using Cherie as an inspiration for their new designs? If we can't afford ammo to put in them, we'll just terrify them instead.....
However, you are correct that in terms of ships in the water or actually contracted for, Astute, CVF, T45, MARS leave a lot to be desired. Don't ask about FSC or VD or whatever its called this month.......
