glad rag,

"Desperately needed build programme" ?

Desperately needed for what?

13 Type 23 frigates, 6 Type 45/42 AD Destroyers and 4 Type 22B Frigates along with 7 SSN, SSBNs, the amphibious fleet and the RFA is still quite a powerful force unmatched anywhere outside the USN

Most of the European navies will have no more than 2 modern AD Destroyers.

Just what battle of the Atlantic scenario do you think we will be fighting?
The irony is weak with this one skywalker....
