So you're saying that the UK already has an adequate maritime surveillance capability and only needs a long range ASW capability. If all you're doing is defending the islands, why is long range ASW so important?
I don't think I said that Ken; nope I've checked. I didn't. Of course if you knew anything about MPA and ASW you would know that we aren't "defending the islands", but there we go - those that know and those that don't need to know. I'm off now, there is Christmas Ale to be drunk
