Future RN

We need more destroyers we are now down to just 4 (back in 1999 we had 12) and if these plans go ahead we will have none at all operational.

We had something like 22 frigates now we have just 15 and with these cuts your looking around 8 left if not less.

One of our carriers has gone leave two very over worked left and chances are another one will be cut and the other will just be ground into the sea.

Submarines have remained stable the new ones have arrived late what a surprise and the CVF is on the rails at least.

The type 45's have already seen a buget cut from 8 to just 6 there was a seacret whisper that the navy wants to re cut down to just 4.

What GB needs i think is this:

2 or 3 CV's
at least 8 DDG's
at least 15 FFG's
a good 20 Mine warfare
10 patrol vessels
4 SSBN's at least
8 attack submarine
13 auxilaries
