At last a very common sense decision by this Conservative Government. Plus Ben Wallace Defence Minister knows his stuff and a good man to be in charge and `I highly rate him’ If only the PM could be so positive and active in the thousands of illegal migrants daily flooding our `Kent beaches breaking all COVID 19 precautions and security measures

"If there is one policy which strengthens the UK in every possible sense, it is building more ships for the Royal Navy ."

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, 2020.

This is good news. Despite the tendency of other European leaders to shit on the UK at every possible opportunity, it's the only real competent military power in Europe (as well as the French), providing security for the rest of the continent -- historically a thankless job considering the blood that has been shed over the past century to keep tyrants at bay.

They have one. HMS Queen Elizabeth. It's the largest class of warship ever built for the RN. She went into service this year.

True, but HMS Prince of Wales won't be in service until 2023.
