So the Brits will go from 60 ships to 61?

Like many governments, the devil is in the details. A lot of what is included in this has already been announced or planned.
The actual new additional amount is considerably less.

Thanks for posting. You observed “The ambition to become the second-largest defense spender in NATO is a way of building up diplomatic clout after Brexit.”
Without the UK the Eurozone is a joke when it comes to power projection. I am happy to see the UK reengaging in global politics which required power projection.
I highly commend the book “To Rule The Waves” which traces the rise and decline of the RN. Notable is that as the RN retreated so did the UK's influence in world affairs. A lesson that should be noted in looking at how we have allowed the USN to decline.

Good. There’s a lot Boris has done that I’m not fond of but increasing the defence (notice the British spelling) budget and getting out of the EU are good things.

“Greatest power” my arse. This statement from a frightened little boy who has participated in causing the flu to destroy his once-great country and crush its formerly proud and courageous people.

Considering what the other “naval powers” of Europe look like currently, that’s not saying much.
