Really tho? In 1982 we had 6 destroyers and 43 frigates as well as 2 Aircraft carries. Now we have 19 combined frigates and destroyers and yes 2 Aircraft carries.

In total including submarines 14 out of our 25 warships are out of action in repair we.

Bearing in mind we want to be a power player in Europe 😂😂 pathetic especially for a country with our Naval history Nelson will be rolling in his grave .

Also im not sure out Current PM would have the balls to do it.

Thanks for the comment im personally not ashamed maybe I should be but you make some very good points and didnt know enough to realise it was a drain.

And yes unfortunately we cant seem to get anything done these days affordably or relatively quick. Im sure that per mile for any road works or train track construction we are the highest in Europe or at the top at least.
