And methinks there is more of this to come for the RN. I am guessing tomorrow will be a rough day when all the details are revealed.

It was first commissioned 25 years ago, so not a complete shock.

Oh dear someone doesn't read the forums

You're too late!

 

at this rate the rn will have a job stopping the vikings should they return to pillage and rape.

 

Don't worry. After the Pongos return from fighting Afghan farmers equipped with RPGs, AK-47s, IEDs and donkeys, they should find the Vikings a doddle. Like you, I'm more concerned about being able to counter sophisticated future threats like professional navies, armies and air forces.

 

but as we have given most countries the foreign aid to build said navies and air forces they will go easy on us right?

 

Relax; they are all our friends.
