I suppose, since women will be serving on this ship, that the time-honored position of 'powder monkey' has been eliminated. Sad to see so many Royal Navy traditions falling by the wayside.

It’s all show. The once proud Brits are now a nation of useless wimps who kiss the arse of Muslims.I’m sure they would have to bring a team of lawyers with them on the ship to make sure that they don’t offend anyone in battle. I’m surprised it wasen’t named the HMS Mohammad .
