  1. The #RoyalNavy has 6 Type-45 destroyers, ½ of the originally-planned 12. Design+build cost £6.5 billion at 2009 prices. Running costs more billions.

    As the #USA & #Israel started a war on #Iran, the UK had only one ship available, the #Type45 #HMSDragon, sent to Cyprus.

    Only 6 weeks later, it broke: archive.is/u5qjt

    Billions blown on a fake #blueWater navy, as the #UK cosplays a #GreatPower. The #BritishEmpire ended >50 years ago.

    Grow up Brits! Sell the ships, stop the waste.

  2. The British warship HMS Dragon has reportedly arrived in the Eastern Mediterranean. #HMSDragon #EasternMediterranean

  3. #RoryStewart & war criminal #AlistairCampbell had a play-fight in #TheRestIsPolitics, blaming each other for the the UK's 1-ship navy comedy. The so-called "#RoyalNavy" has only ship to send to the #Mediterranean, the #destroyer #HMSDragon.

    But the real #comedy is that the boys think this is somehow bad. 🤣

    The #BritishEmpire is gone. #Thatcher formally abolished it in January 1983.

    And without the spoils of Empire, #PerfidiousAlbion can't afford a blue water navy.
    It's cosplaying.

  8. 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    The UK's military fantasies are out of date.
