The latest edition of World Naval Review is out and there is big article on the RN

Makes sobering reading- seems to have been a period in early 2017 when we had maybe only one or maybe no SSN at sea, the new T45 engines mods will be expensive and difficult to fit, the last Astute order seems to have disapeared, removing Ocean will seriously affect over teh beach capabilities, and manpower........


They have concerns about the delay in standing up a proper naval F35 squadron and very much doubt the Govt will ever allow the Carriers to beput in harm's way in any serious sense
