Rum Ration
the Navy Network

Who gives a shit, they were crap first time round and they will be crap this time. I was shadowing a Slava class once and took phots of them taking nearly 24 hours to do a RAS.
Not quite as bad are the yanks, but it goes to show, lots of hulls and guns are not much use unless you know what you are doing and your boys are motivated.
I won't even mention their Unterseeboot's.

SSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!


Do you want to encourage Labour to cut the Forces further?

We will contiue to reduce our forces because joe public couldn't give a toss about the navy , and tony and gordon see it as an easy way to save money without upsetting too many voters . Another scarey realisaton is that the JMSDF has 51 frigates / destroyers to our 25 . This is a navy that is only allowed to have a homeland defensive fleet to protect their islands. we are an island nation with global commitments and are pollies think we can do it with half the japanese fleet . Cheers easy comes to mind

We are now s,aller than the italian fleet.

At the risk of sounding bone, whats JMSDF, I can only think of Jamaican defence force.
Surely this is good news for those of us missing saving wads during towed aray patrols!
