@FrankEarnest23@YBattleaxe15846@NavyLookout@air_maritimepic Cheers dits, thats just bollocks. Considering the shipyards are in barrow in furness and also the fact that foreigners dont get security clearance to work on subs. Stop chatting out your arsehole
@hattra2@Archiemek987@TBrit90 Why would it need sonar though you idiot? We have ASW merlins, it still will have radar. Its not designed for that kind of warfare so why give it that? Just waste a fuck load of money
@aratata46@SlothInMirror Thats not how it works this has been explained many times. Her viltrumite genes are equally as pure as marks. The creator of the comics said so
@ArnulfoCarden17@PolitlcsUK@danriversitv How the fuck have we ruined that relationship you american moron? Because we didnt want to directly involve ourselves in a war that doesn't serve our interests? Not everything we do is for america sake. We're not your lapdog. We are our own sovereign state. Go fuck yourselves.
@BenObeseJecty Can also add, bringing up labour cutting the type 45s in half doesn't make up for the lost personnel, wasted money, recruitment crisis, procurement failures, and sufficient development of replacement platforms that are directly the fault of tory idiocy
@BenObeseJecty Thats because tory that's like you underinvested in the armed forces for fucking years. I dont like labour at all, but dont pin a problem you caused on someone else. The state of the armed forces comes down to tory failings and inability to make decisions until it was too late
@hattra2@Archiemek987@TBrit90 Been suggested on many occasions, by many different people involved in defence Civilian and forces both actually. Get your facts straight
@EleyWilhel484@TBrit90 Its a secondary layer of defence for higher value assets. Gives ASW focused platforms the time to focus solely on that purpose without worrying above water threats. See how that works
@Archiemek987@TBrit90 Yeah, and we have a weapons system to handle that threat, with a type 31 close by the protect that system from above water threats. Its a pretty simple concept to grasp
@TBrit90 Thats 175 over 5 years. Also, making a zero tolerance policy has been a deterrent that significantly dropped usage in the navy. So shut up you imbecilic moron. If you'd served you'd understand you useless twat
@TBrit90 Well, for one. There's no reason Australian sailors can't have sailed with her to continue training. 2 sometimes a deterrent presence holds more strategic value then ever actually firing and 3 how the hell do you a civvy know what she's there for? Oh yeah you dont so dont presume
@TBrit90 To add, the navy has literally explained this several times. People just dont read and think that if everything has the most expensive tech it automatically wins. Strategy and knowing your kit is what wins wars, type 31s are perfect for what their intended use is.
@TBrit90 Type 31s dont need towed sonar. Theyre not for anti submarine warfare. Theyre designed as a general service frigate. Type 26s are the specific anti submarine option. Not everything constantly needs to be peak expense when it adds no strategic benefit for the navy as a whole
