...The Ministry of Defence is expected to sign contracts for the creation of the UK's biggest ever aircraft carriers.
The 65,000-ton ships, HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales, will cost a total of £4bn...

...The number of Type 45 destroyers promised has shrunk from eight to six, with some worried the Navy will struggle to find enough frigates, destroyers and submarines to protect the carriers.
The Army and RAF are also expecting cuts to their own plans for vital new equipment...

Not nuke powered. Will carry 8,500 tonnes all fuels... each.

How come we are paying for these, I thought defence was a Euro job??

How many French and Germans are dying in Afghanistan?


As for the carriers - waste of money. How can they protect themselves from medium sized missiles travelling at twice the speed of sound?

Simple answer - they can't.

How many French and Germans are dying in Afghanistan?

It's reported that the Germans won't fight when it's dark, on health and safety grounds.

What a pity they didn't have that idea during the Second World War.

As for defence being a 'Euro job', we must never give up the defence of our own country to the corrupt, useless bureaucrats of Brussels.
