What is wrong with Cameron. This country is already under strength in the armed services, and they want to take on more volunteers, what will they do to get ships if we need them - hire them from France.

Sadly there is a lack of major conflict that requires the mobilization of large navies and our navy is as big as it needs to be so we don't need any new ships apart from the ones already on order hence the need to close one of the ship yards .Lack of war is a bit of a bugger
I would have thought that BAE would have kept Portsmouth open since Scotland is building the 2 new carriers
