Interesting article in the current issue of Sea Breezes on the future of the Navy. Here’s part of it:

Many here are going to shout and scream at that article and I don’t agree with it entirely, but it does raise the questions that have yet to be fully answered and perhaps are more pertinent now than ever –
what is the RN for?
What do we actually want it to do?
What should the UK contribute to global maritime security?
Government, Admirals and the public will give a multitude of answers to those questions and as yet there appears to be no definitive answers, the defence review if anything has left the answers even more elusive.
