On the plus side, however, gays get free run of the military and the newest destroyer is decked out like a cruise boat.
That’s it?! That is the ENTIRE Royal Navy?! WTF?! The Navy that once RULED THE WORLD is now smaller, I daresay, than most ASEAN countries fleets!! Unbelievable! Oh, well, at least they have (substandard—no dental plan) socialized medicine, huh?
The UK has been too busy with spending for Muzzies on the dole.
And I do not and have never believed the new carrier program will be completed as projected. If the RN can’t afford to run frigates it can’t afford carrier groups.
If Hillary gets in the White House, this can be the future of out military too.
Memo to Argentina: The Coast is Clear.
Current order of battle is one thing but far more important is what’s in the pipeline. Ships aren’t built overnight.

She should be in prison. I doubt she’ll get elected. obama and edwards are worse in their policies. This election is going to suck in my best guesstimation.
Yep. And they aren't even operating all three of the current carriers listed. INVINCIBLE is in ready mothballs.
Some British Freepers recently informed a few of us that Britain is building its military forces up more than adequately.
Besides, the UK has more tridents operational. If worse came to worst, she could use the Goliath option.
;-)
I suppose they do have some tactical nukes. Won't have to worry about an invasion.
The navy is a little larger than Canada's.

I wonder how many ships they could build if they weren’t footing the welfare bill for certain ethnic communities to a tidy tune each year?
I believe the bottom line of the UK report is just as applicable to the US Navy and the US Armed Forces in general. Billary and Hillary did not hide their contempt for U.S. forces; they gutted the numbers and capabilties of the Armed Forces and Intel forces for some inexplicable reason.
Had they not eliminated so much of the Military’s capabilities, we would have been able to field a much more decisive effort against OBL while still maintaining the ability to contest two or more other sizable efforts elsewhere.
Nothing a little paint here and there can’t cover up, a little dent buffed out here and there on their remaining battered (formerly battle) ships. Oh and a couple on hot tubs and a steam bath for they gay sailors.
