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.

HMS Ocean is going to be scrapped as well. She is a bit old though, not the best built!!

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.

 

[sensibledunny]

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.
