Current Affairs The Royal Navy….

Makes you wonder what HMS Trent does.

Really good at supplying the other ships but does nothing to help with the defence of them

Being serious? If so, if a strike from Vlad was likely, any sea worthy subs will be underwater, and the nuke ones will both be armed and ready. And somewhere.

First strike would be the Pentagon, followed by GCHQ anyrate.

The GCHQ one would knacker me, but what can you do?

Spent far too much time watching stuff like this last night, I need a hobby.



We simulate a naval battle with US and UK carrier strike groups versus China and Russia. Aircraft involved are F-35 Lightning C and B variants, Mig-29KR and J-15B. Major missiles involved are YJ-21 Hypersonic, YJ-18 and P-800 Oniks Supersonic, Naval Strike Missile and LRASM stealth anti-ship missiles.

What happens then?

What happens then?

The F35s dominate and the good guys win.

It was quite an interesting watch.

That's a relief, cheers mate.

Imagine being the poor Type 45 that looked at your sister ships called Daring, Defender, Dragon, Diamond and Dauntless, and you end up as... Duncan.

Also where did all the cool ship names go? Victory (I'm aware that's still a commissioned Naval vessel), Indefatigable, Leviathan, Conquerer, Colossus, Revenge, Thunderer, so on. Is it those damn Wokies to blame again? Is the Navy too Woke to want violent-sounding ship names now?



Perhaps it's one we'll have to outsource to a foreigner?

HMS Barton anyone?

 

[Yarrgh]

Makes you wonder what HMS Trent does.

Hybrid role.

No contest tbh, Russia has a 30 year old piece of crap that spends most of its time being towed, China has an old Ukrainian carrier, updated and a new one rolling out. The U.K. has two modern carriers and the USA has as many as everyone else on the planet combined….

A few good days work wrapped up in there I'm guessing...

 

[PhilEFC]

This is the way to motivate and develop senior officers…not…

Telegraph…

“The Royal Navy has been forced to use LinkedIn to advertise for a Rear-Admiral to be responsible for the nation’s nuclear deterrent amid a growing recruitment crisis.

No serving sailors are suitable to replace Rear-Admiral Simon Asquith, the current Director of Submarines, and the Navy has turned to the professional networking site to find his successor.

Defence sources told The Telegraph they hoped to attract a retired officer who commanded a submarine during their naval career to the £150,000-a-year, two-star position.

The advertisement says candidates must be a member of the reserves or have previously served in the regular forces and, if chosen, will be responsible for “highly classified stealth, elite operations and Trident, our nuclear deterrent”.

At least no one can get sanctioned if they don’t apply for it like they would if it was up in the job centre I suppose…

Now that is a derivative version of 'the office' I'd love to see....

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

That's a relief, cheers mate.
