Bilateral arrangements are flexible and effective and I’m confident something can be put in place to protect shipping in the strait.

“NATO hymn,” in fact. Close, but no cigar.

I'm not sure where 2010 comes into the equation - I said we downsized our navy too much.

The UK government has said it will provide a Royal Navy escort for British-flagged ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz - amid increasing diplomatic tensions in the Gulf.

It’s simplistic to say Ark Royal (Audacious class) was just the victim of cutbacks. It was a WW2 era design that required fairly constant modifications and repairs throughout its service life.

The Invincible class light carriers came into service within 3 years of Ark Royal’s decommissioning, two of them in time for the Falklands war. The government had realised by the mid 1970s that it was a strategic error not to have fixed-wing aircraft launching capability at sea and ordered its new fleet of anti-submarine cruisers, still on the drawing board at the time, to be modified to carry a navalised harrier jump jet. The older HMS Hermes also remained in service at the time of the Falklands war.

After a long journey, this piece of music has finally become the official "NATO Hymn" when the North Atlantic Council approved it on 3 January 2018.

On Wednesday, January 3, the Atlantic Alliance approved its official anthem, a composition written in 1989 by Captain André Reichling, director of the Luxembourg Military Band.

Since its composition this anthem has played in numerous NATO events, but always with an unofficial character
