For such shortages I used tobash poltiicians, not the serving military. My often given argument is that tehcnological and trainign advanatge can only compensate so far for lacking numbers - and not more. Even a high tech ship cannot be in four different places simulatenously, and the RN sees a damn huge operation area. That they have serious crewing porblems and a shortage on both platforms and men willing to chose this way, has often been reported.

I did not bash them, Mr. Quattro. Just hinted at the obvious. They are too few. Motivation and training quality does not change this.

And I did not imply at all that the British budget for its navy is meant to defend China, i do not know why you came up with that.
