Born Hunter 17,775 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) http://news.sky.com/story/1164634/bae-announces-1775-shipyard-job-losses 800 years of shipbuilding to come to and end with 1'775 jobs gone! We've seen military and naval cut backs throughout the west since the end of the cold war but this kinda feels like the final blow. Producing the RNs most powerfull carriers in history, Portsmouth will go out with a bang. Another part of Britain consigned to history. What a shitter!

Portsmouth is iconic in British Naval history and it's gonna be finished completely. But yeah the job losses are across the board and will affect all the ship yards I believe. Bad times all round. It'll be even worse for the UK if Scotland become independant.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
