This round of Defence cuts is going to fall on the RAF, Army Heavy equipment and Senior Officers. The RN, as everyone knows, is now very stretched indeed, while the Army is taking the main burden of the very long COIN war in Afghanistan.The Navy could very well lose more Type 42 Destroyers, which will leave the escort force even shorter, but there is very little fat left on the RN or the British Army.
