“In October 1987, I transited the #StraitOfHormuz on the bridge of the frigate #HMSAndromeda. We were watched from less than a mile away by an Iranian warship as Ian Stewart, the armed forces minister of the day, decried them as “pirates”.
Later that day, we transferred on to one of the four counter-measures vessels that had been dispatched to clear the waters off #Dubai of Iranian mines. At that time, the #ArmillaPatrol consisted of four or five #destroyers or #frigates, four of those minehunters and three or four support vessels.
Today there are no Royal Navy ships in the #Gulf, after its #Bahrain based squadron was run down to save money and allow sailors to be deployed elsewhere. The last of the #minehunters returned to #Britain in January.
Back in 1987, at the time of my visit to the Gulf, the #RoyalNavy had 50 #destroyers and frigates, 21 #submarines and three #AircraftCarriers. Today it has 13 of those large surface ships, nine subs and two carriers.”

The UK continues to delude itself that it has the resources and equipment to be a great military power. It's a fantasy.
In 2009, the UK's #MOD told the #DefenceSelectCommittee that it could sustain readiness of at least 4 #Type45 #destroyers and usually 5, despite cutting the class from 12 ships to 6. The Committee was very doubtful.
In March 2026, #HMSDragon was the only Type45 available for service in Cyprus in the #IranWar.
The UK's military fantasies are out of date.

The USS Abraham Lincoln #AircraftCarrier & 3 guided-missile #destroyers arrived in the #MiddleEast >2 weeks ago.
It marks a quick turnaround for the USS Ford, which #Trump sent from the Mediterranean Sea to the Caribbean last Oct as the admin built up a huge #military presence prior to the surprise raid that captured Venezuelan President #Maduro.
It appears at odds with Trump’s #NationalSecurity strategy, which put an emphasis on the #WesternHemisphere…. [not really, he wants a war, any #war.]

The large deployment… underscores the concern that the #UnitedStates has in trying to deter the #conflict from growing. The Israeli govt formal #DeclarationOfWar …gave the green light for "significant military steps"….

The figures are the lowest in modern times and MPs suggest they show that 🇬🇧 would struggle to fight a war against #Russia 🇷🇺
