Royal Navy ships at sea with no guided missiles on board
Two Royal Navy destroyers could not fire their missiles if they came under attack – because they have been removed to save cash.
The News can reveal that Portsmouth-based Type 42s HMS Exeter and HMS Southampton have been working without their Sea Dart guided-missile system since Christmas. To go with the cutbacks, at least half a dozen operating crew have been transferred to other ships.
I believe similar issues also exist with other ships.
