BlairPeach. Methinks that your statement:
"I have always maintained, and continue to maintain, that HARL will never build a ship; or rather, the entity in which we (most of us) currently hold an interest will never build a ship."
will come back to haunt you. 40-odd years ago Mrs Thatcher said that the world no longer needed ships - strange how nobody in the media ever quotes here on that?
Anyways, the current treachery of some of our TR1's aside, why won't HARL build the FSS ships? There might be a good many foreign billionaires who'd like to see us defenceless, and it's strange that Boris seems so ready to give away what's left of our jet fighter force, but, we the people, expect to have a navy to defend us. Time lines are now so short that either we close our Steel making Mills and farm out our navy building capacity to a friendly nation, like China or HARL prepare it's docks to crack on and get the job done.
Methinks, I know what's going to happen!
