    They're not the only ones. The Naval Supporters Club seem to be falling like leaves in the autumn.

    Mind you, I did have to smile a bit. It seems they've got time machines over at The Navy Campaign. Been at it for 20 months since Nov 2012!!!!

    I thought they must have run up the white flag when I pinged them as being a single issue religious fanatic group in my last blog article. I claim this victory, and I will use my sea harriers to bore anyone to death who disagrees with my cause!
    Looking for more defence writing? Why not try some other defence related sites.

    Im thinking of going Retro and insisting the Navy really really really needs a new Battleship in the mould of HMS Warrior.........reckon for the cost of a Type 45 we can have about 100 of the damm things They're great for Gunboat action, dealing with pirates and drug runners and showing the flag and create 100's of jobs digging coal up ........
