Re: D Class Frigates
Argentina must be very happy with the news. They said it would take 3 weeks for a warship to get to the Falklands, They could be in control by then,
We once had the best Navy in the world patrolling world wide. Our politicians have destroyed more of our Royal Navy and Merchant Navy ships that all the German UBOATS and battleships destroyed in two world wars.
They should all be charged with High Treason and disposed of accordingly

Re: D Class Frigates
I was in the Sea Cadets from 1948 to 1952 and always did training on the Battleship HMS DUKE OF YORK, who had sank the Scharnhorst and the Cruisers HMS DIDO and SYRIUS, also the Gunnery courses in HMS EXCELLENT on Whale Island
The Reserve Fleet in Portsmouth was a fantastic sight, Battle Ships, Carriers, Cruisers Destroyers etc as far a the eye could see.
always had a big fleet at sea, including at the Korean War.
Only the USA had a bigger fleet than us,
"Hey Limie, how`s the worlds second biggest Navy going on"?.... "Great, How`s the worlds second best?" then the fights start.
