cragman 2,791 Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 What the fook is he playing at? He’s gone woker than woke by changing the name of a ship his mother had agreed to, from HMS Agincourt to HMS Achilles, for fear that it’ll upset the French! His father Prince Phillip must be laughing in his grave. He bottled it with the shooting/hunting craic when we really needed him to stand his ground and help fight our corner. He’s turning into a right mard arse whimp of a king 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,832 Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 I wouldn’t have thought the king had much to do with it. It’ll be driven by the Labour government. And there’s way bigger defence issues that the public should be talking about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think the biggest issue is how we seem to think we can take big capability holidays, like a war will come with ten years notice. Not sure what the status is now but certainly at the start of Ukraine the royal navies ability to actually sink a peer warships was limited to hoping one of probably two globally deployed subs was in theatre. The fleet air wing had/has no anti ship weapons and the surface ships had obsolete ones. Even the Typhoons defending our homeland have basically no ability to sink an enemy ship in our waters. We’re doing the same now with our amphibious and land warfighting capabilities. Could we establish a beachhead or deploy a true division in the event of war? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The name Agincourt was a working name that was expected to be the official name as with the first six of class. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,832 Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 (edited) Another huge one that no one wants to take seriously is that if even a shitty cruise missile was launched at our nation in a surprise attack we pretty much have no defence. Homeland missile defence isn’t a thing in the UK. If it was an advanced cruise/hypersonic missile or even a mass missile attack they would rain down on us. If there was warning then a very limited number of specialist warships and land based air defence systems could be deployed to defend high value targets. That’s it. Ballistic missiles… no chance.
