Head in the clouds. Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 But Junglierating, we will have 2 new carriers that can replace HMS Ocean, Bulwark,Albion and these 2 new shiny helicopter carriers aircraft carriers can land several hundred Royal Marines with equipment and launch lots of helo's in support of humanitarian disasters at the same time as fighting a blue water war and under going refit/maintainance , we wiil, I assure you not loose any capability or flexibilty what soever. They are not really carriers but 2 new TARDIS machines that can be in many places at one.......but don't tell anyone ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4scourge7 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Bit of a pyrrhic victory to get two new carriers at the expense of everything else (contrary to what was promised- `RN getting bigger` etc.) --------------- I scrubbed the rest of my original post when I felt the veins on the side of my head expanding and contracting at an unhealthy tempo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewolf Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I think Albion and Bulwark will be around for sometime to come. The strength of feeling is such that Conservative MPs have indicated they will revolt against the government if an attempt is made to dispose of them along with the Royal Marines. It's been confirmed that RM Tamar at Devonport will be expanded to create a new Marine superbase as already planned. Pity some idiot forgot to halt sale of HMS Ocean!
