2021 Strategic Defence and Security Review

[LandScrubber]

Just some food for thought but does anyone have any idea what the 2021 Strategic Defence and Security Review would mean for the RFA?

I'm completely in the dark about this myself and would like some better idea of the future of the RFA.

Anything anyone on here says would be pure conjecture and therefore pointless. Wait until the review is published.

And as long as there is a Royal Navy, there will be an RFA to service it.

Agreed, but just looking for some speculation!

More interested if there will be any changes to RFA regimen or future ship counts (pure conjecture obvs). e.g differentia in training; expanded or minimised roles and capability?

When the review and recommendations are made then we'll know.

Fair enough, will wait like everybody else.

I believe the Defence Review is coming out in March, does anybody have a specific date?

The daily wail had something to say about 4 ships being scrapped but Navy Lookout and Tom Sharpe (both on twitter but NL has a website too) both provided some great information on the future of the fleet and the RFA and broke down the operating of said ships and future if you wanted to go and do the reading.

Yeah heard 4 type 23 frigates are being scrapped. HMS iron duke, HMS Argyle, HMS Monmouth and HMS Kent I believe not sure if it’s Kent though?( well being decommissioned anyway? Not sure about scrapped, again this was on daily mail so not coming from my mouth aha)

The ‘Black Duke’! Old ships. Had a great time on there.

It was a very sociable mess when I was on there with HRH.
