Re: Navy is now down to five ships.
There is a similar one where they claim you have a rebate and give you a number to ring I'm not sure what the scam is but I think it's a premium rate number

Re: Navy is now down to five ships.
With all the media available the fact is, that apart from the made up stuff the media produce and the 'truth' on Facebook, we will only be told the truth the powers that be want us to know.
Is the RN really down to just five ships, the Air Force to only ten aircraft?
The only ones who know the truth about this are the top brass in the forces.
Why let the enemy know what you have or do not have?
But I might add that if the figures are by any chance true then you may well be in deep doo,doo should a conflict emerge.

Re: Navy is now down to five ships.
Our main deterrent is submarine launched , so 1 on patrol , 1 in dock , 1 going out , 1 coming in so 4 for the big red button
