ReplyDeleteMaybe a triple depressive whammy comprising politics in general, football, and the Murrell affair?
Eight, Type 83 Destroyers and five, Type 32 Frigates have been axed from the Military Industrial budget of the UK. The ships would have been built at BAE Systems in Scotland.
ReplyDeleteThe money will instead be reallocated to various drone projects. These will be built at locations let to be determined. Obviously, the infrastructure required for drone production is massively different from that of ships. They could be built anywhere. A new or existing facility in landlocked West Midlands for example with a local workforce adept at vehicle manufacture (since drones are more akin to cars than boats).
That is assuming that the drones could be manufactured in quantity at all. The supply chain is dependent on components which presently come exclusively from China, such as Rare Earth elements.
