HMS Iron Duke is being retired

That leaves us with five frigates to defend the UK.

Let’s hope the drones don’t get them first:

@peterlee I agree. Large sinkable ships are expensive targets in these assymetrical warfare times..😷

With so few ships that actually work in the British Navy , you would think retiring one might be a problem.

@peterlee the imperial control of oil prices and the complicit for a price American presidents worked together . But now its gone too far and the UK and EU must fivure a way out

@TexChik I agree. But it’s impossible to assess the political climate in the UK at moment. Other than Starmer is finished.

@peterlee As long as they believe windmills are the answer , the UK will continue on into irrelevancy . Oil is power, and they have plenty.

That's a dreadful situation. I just checked. Aren't there six frigates (Type 23/Duke Class) left: HMS Richmond, Somerset, Sutherland, Kent, Portland, and St Albans?
