the First Sea Lord: you have the number of escort ships close to zero (and you don't have enough sailors to operate all of them!! Today at 10:30 AM) and soon you'll have no OTH AShMs, but you're talking "a continuous Carrier Strike capability"
I wish you good luck, Sir

I don't know what's the point here but
A quick analysis shows that 6 of the RN’s 19 escorts are at sea or fully operational. A further 6 are either on trials, training or in short maintenance periods. Activity may be slightly curtailed generally in the summer leave period, as the RN does its best to prioritise the needs of personnel and their families. 4 are in major refit and 3 are non-operational, pending refit or due to lack of personnel.

seems like it's well ballanced. I can't find anything wrong with those numbers. The only worrying thing might be there's always 1-2 destroyers being 'out' of the usual cycle. But it's not critical or ruining entire structure.

there could be more некоторых subs around RN bases than ASW assets, and at the same time the RN can't operate even the ASW assets it has Sunday at 10:30 AM Sunday at 5:41 PM

Good Lord! "Unless priorities are reordered, that force will drop to 14 by 2030."
[the context for "that force" is "The RN currently maintains 19 destroyers and frigates ..."]

I post just the link: who would read anything critical here, huh?

Craziness! To build these two beautiful, powerful and very capable carriers...and then have so few surface combatants to protect them and to be able to carry our the UKs other security needs. Sad really...and shameful. I pray it does not come back to hurt them...where's a Churchill when you need him?

HMS Torbay being decommissioned at Devonport dockyard

The Plymouth based nuclear submarine docks at the jetty for the final time after 32 years service (July 14).

The company of the Royal Navy submarine are celebrating her proud history at a decommissioning service.

Her final crew will stand proud on parade for one last time as a unit before the submarine takes up her place in Royal Naval history.

Taking the salute at the decommissioning parade will be the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Devon, Vice Admiral Sir Richard Ibbotson.

Commander Dan Knight, HMS Torbay’s captain, said:

“I have had the privilege of serving in Torbay on a number of occasions; at the start of her second commission as first casing officer then navigating officer and now at the end of that commission as her commanding officer.

“It has been a huge honour to be her final commanding officer and to have had the opportunity to lead the exemplary men who have made her the ‘Good Boat’ that she has always been recognised as. It is with immense sadness, but significant pride, that all of us say goodbye to her.”

Since being commissioned in 1985, HMS Torbay has travelled 614,000 miles around world, through war zones, on diplomatic missions and covert operations.
