Britain today is no longer world class anything - including its navy

[TheInfiniteSadness]

Oh I dont know

The world is such a peaceful place I cant imagine who it might be

But what difference does it make?

The UK is trending down to 3rd world weakness anyway and cant even defend its own shores from muslim invaders in open boats

Britain doesn't have to defend itself at sea, it only has to defend it's shores because there isn't a country in the world that could launch a successful amphibious invasion of them.

So Argentina can now have the Falkland Islands whenever it wants?

The UK used to be known for a LOT of things....
It used to be THE place for:
precision steel products
Ships and shipping (Titanic notwithstanding)
Wool and lamb
Various Distilled spirits (gin, scotch, and etc)
Large polycarbonate windscreens and other polycarbonate products.
Before India , it was the leading manufacturer of vaccines using eggs.
Also a leading manufacturer of fine bone china. (Some crystal too)
Of course silverware and flatware....

These things led to their automotive industry (BMWs are still fancy....kinda) and fishing industry....which has been leased out to others....even Brent Crude is no longer being pumped out of the ocean.

Environmentalists and taxes have destroyed most of the UK's industries and revenue streams. Not much left there anymore. For History's largest nation ever (the sun never really set on the UK territory at one time) the sun seems to be setting now....
Are there any Brits left in London?

Who would Britain have to defend their country against?

Nobody. They've already been invaded by millions of hateful foreigners who could possibly burn the entire country to the ground if they had a mind to.

Those are the old days. Argentina has bigger problems to deal with instead of attacking an island that has no economic value. It would be the same result anyways once the Royal Navy got there they wouldn't even need to attack. They could starve them out because once they get the Argentinian Boots on the Ground won't be getting any supplies

The only Navy in the world that still projects power is the U.S. Navy and that is because of the Carrier Groups.

By the way who do you think will win the basketball game? The Marines or U.S. Navy

 

[Independent thinker]

The once mighty Royal Navy is a joke

With more admirals and ships

It cant even defend the home island much less fulfill its overseas respondibilities

And its all thanks to leftwing culture

But they still have the monarchy! If needed, they may still be able to rustle up some horses, some swords, and some armor to defend the country.

Why do Americans like you seem so proud of your ghastly lead in this area ?
You give every indication of self harm and self destruction and then point at others for exhibiting the same disease symptoms .
What's wrong with you ?

ARE YOU REA;LLY ALL BLIND SHEEPLETS HAPPY TO MUNCH THE RUBBISH HANDED OUT TO YOU ?
Or is it because you are actually whimpering ------ deep down you know that it is your own country that has become the world's laughing stock and -- even worse-- at the beck and call of an insane outside group who play you as fools and clowns ?

America is stone cold dead unless you can somehow re-start your heart.

The migrants aren't armed people and one boat doesn't constitute a military invasion.

I see you have nothing to offer but hot air

As usual.

At this moment in time US aircraft carriers are vulnerable yo anti ship missiles in narrow coastal waters

But we have other assets to deal with the Strait of Hormuz

But in the Pacific Ocean or the South China Sea its a different story

But how many old Cocks69 does America have?
Living in Fantasy world
He believes American ships can take off like ducks when under fire .

He needs a real Doctor , does your Cocks69 .

 

[luiza]

Nobody will ever conventionally attack us .
The City of London is owned by both Jews and Tehran .

Stupid America thinks we are its Ally and both Russia and China are smart and know that Regime Change is a minimum 20 year project and does not involve old style war .

Not for nothing are we known as the Behind the Doors Fixers .
The really smart ones with added brains .

 

[Doc7505]

Only a room full of American dunces see Ships as an asset .

Unless fully cloaked they are in even worse a position than sitting ducks --which can at least fly away if the first salvo misses .

Look at the US Carriers now .

Apart from most being in dry dock , each of these now lumbering monstrosities is obliged to keep out of harm's way --- as two of them have already found out .

Update your knowledge old fashioned OP ,and move into today's world .

China is expanding its navy rapidly because it aims to enhance its maritime power and influence, with a current fleet of 234 warships compared to the U.S. Navy's 219. This growth is driven by significant investments in shipbuilding and a desire to assert its presence in key global trade routes and regional disputes.
Britain's naval power has significantly declined, with the Royal Navy now operating only 13 frigates and destroyers, a stark contrast to its historical strength. This decline is attributed to decades of political decisions that have reduced defense spending and naval capabilities
Ships transport more than 80% of world trade volume and about 70% of trade value, but not 98% of imported goods.
If Britain can't protect their shipping, they're in trouble.
A good example is the present situation with the straits of Hormuz. The UK is incapable of protecting it's shores and shipping. They've become a third world nation.

At least we're rounding up as many foreign invaders as we can and sending them back to their own countries. They're coming in by the boatloads to your little island.

Argentina hwas better leadership than it did under the old military dictatorshp

But the UK could not stop them if it had to

It would be even worse for the Crown if they were armed

My PMetals wealth does not give me ownership of this Sceptered Isle.
To be noted . Just here as a contented observer .

But , as I told you , these chappies make jolly fine cooks , gardeners , mechanics etc
And once you imbue them with the fundamentals of Cricket everything becomes plain sailing .
Shame you Americans never had the means to create the right type of culture .
Greed and Violence was never going to work
