The #RoyalNavy has 6 Type-45 destroyers, ½ of the originally-planned 12. Design+build cost £6.5 billion at 2009 prices. Running costs more billions.

As the #USA & #Israel started a war on #Iran, the UK had only one ship available, the #Type45 #HMSDragon, sent to Cyprus.

Billions blown on a fake #blueWater navy, as the #UK cosplays a #GreatPower. The #BritishEmpire ended >50 years ago.

Grow up Brits! Sell the ships, stop the waste.
