Perhaps there is a case for a smaller navy. Defending maritime trade is the major justification and the world is relatively peaceful. Aircraft Carriers are useful for force projection but shocking expensive. But control the purse strings and control the navy. Simple isn't it? Chatham naval dockyard was thriving once. It turned out well trained apprentices once. Now it is dead. Portland is gone or going. Portsmouth is much reduced. We cannot even defend our own fisheries from foreigners due to Heath's treason in giving them to Europeans to rape and raped they have been. Heath was a good enough politician to know how to use post dated cheques. So is Brown. Chickens will come home to roost after he is out of politics and the money is wasted.
Join the navy today? I wouldn't want a son of mine anywhere
near it. Update:- In fact it is even worse. Lewis Page, late of the Royal Navy
explains in his book. See:-
Lions, Donkeys
and Dinosaurs
By Lewis Page is a first rate book and
strategic review. He tells us that the men are over worked and under paid while
hundreds of very senior officers do little or nothing except demand more
expensive and useless toys for their old regiments.
Stands for the
Royal Navy
The Royal Navy's Triumph
The RN beat the French at Trafalgar, which was important. Napoleon was the
French answer to naughty little Adolf; they
just got there first. But at the same time the navy had the
West Africa
Squadron attacking slavers. Were the blacks grateful? Let's not be
naive; they don't even know. The Jews were annoyed of course. It cost them
lotsa shekels.
Spin and silence at the end of the special relationship
[ 3 December 2005 ]
We used to be told about our special
relationship with America. Perhaps it didn't mean too much but now it means a
whole lot less. Blair is buying inferior European kit at humungous prices which
is incompatible with American systems. Americans are restricting our access to
their research because they think it will be passed on to Europe. Meanwhile the
Jews get access. Theirs is a very special relationship; that of blackmailer and
the blackmailed.
This stands for all three services. We need them all.
Royal Navy Has A Robot Spy Boat
[ 6 September 2016 ]
QUOTE
A drone speedboat
that could pave the way for a Royal Navy robot fleet of
high-speed reconnaissance and surveillance vessels has been
unveiled by defence scientists. The 34ft boat can skim across the waves at more than
50kts to track high speed targets, while navigating and
dodging other ships without the control of a human...........
The dawn of unmanned vehicles is likely to have the same
revolutionary effect on naval warfare as the birth of flight
and aircraft carriers, according to the navy’s Fleet
Robotics Officer.
UNQUOTE
They might be important. They will be fun but will they be useful? Helicopters
can do a lot of surveillance and faster.
Royal Navy Has Three Quarters Of Fleet Shore Bound
[
19 September 2017 ]
QUOTE
The
Royal Navy can only send a quarter of its warships to sea due to
spending cuts which have left the armed forces "struggling to
protect Britain's citizens", the Telegraph has learned.
Currently 13 of the Navy's 19-strong fleet of Type 23 frigates and Type 45 destroyers are unable to go to sea due to a lack of manpower, fuel and supplies, senior military sources have revealed. The cuts to defence spending have also severely hampered Britain’s response to Hurricane Irma.
HMS Ocean, the amphibious assault ship that currently serves as the Royal Navy’s flagship, was sent to provide support to the British overseas territories in the Caribbean but suffered engine problems while loading in Gibraltar.
Tonight
the source said that Britain's response has turned the Navy
into a "laughing stock".
UNQUOTE
A very(?) senior officer of the
Royal Navy is
disgruntled & quite likely right.
Blair,
Brown &
Cameron have been screwing Her Majesty's armed forces in order to waste
money on Third World parasites and other free
loaders. NB This is why we have a wonderful new aircraft carrier with no aircraft
to carry. The F35 is still being developed. Its price is, naturally enough
monstrous.
Royal Navy Doubles War Effort
[ 14 July 2019 ]
Two warships are twice as many as one.
Her Majesty's Government decided to indulge in
Piracy, stealing an oil
tanker on the
High Seas. The Iranians are
counter-attacking. One sees their point. The real issue is
Zionist crazies using American forces to blockade
Iran. It is a power play by the Puppet Masters.
The fact that Iran can and will block the Straits of Hormuz and a quarter of
the world's oil is a matter of indifference. Jews control Iraq's oil wells
after Desert Storm. China will not be amused
and they have nukes. Sabre rattling could lead to
World War III.
Royal Navy Aircraft Carrier Has Actual Aircraft Onboard [ 11 June 2020 ]
QUOTE
F-35 Lightning jets have landed on HMS Queen Elizabeth as the 'Dambusters'
squadron fully joins the Royal Navy aircraft carrier for the first time.
The jets from the 617 Squadron landed on board the 65,000-tonne warship which sailed from Portsmouth Naval Base on Sunday for flight trials off the south coast.
The aircraft that have landed on board will be
the same that will sail with the carrier next year on its maiden carrier
strike group deployment.
UNQUOTE
HMS Queen
Elizabeth was launched on 17 July 2014. She has been floating around
without any aircraft ever since. You just might think this displays an
indifference to effectiveness or just plain incompetence. It is like having
a rifle without ammunition. Is the Royal Navy a
working tool or just a way of wasting money?
