    Any announcements on Type 26 due? Will the Navy be pushing for more given that there is no spending black hole and we have the odd 2bn surplus?

    If you believe there is no black hole, then could I perhaps interest you in some bridges I'm selling in London, along with a nice tower in Paris?
    Looking for more defence writing? Why not try some other defence related sites.

    Don't mind a return to the cold war neither.
    You'll be demanding the reintroduction of a certain 7.62mm, semi automatic rifle to scare off those sneaky Russian bastards (again - the demands, not the scaring)

    If I was Putin,I would tell 'Marshall' Obama,and his 'World Police Force',to fuck off.

    Gulf of Mexico,international waters,the Polyarny Inlet,and approaches to Murmansk are'nt!

    If you still want to play with the 'Big Boys',grow a pair,or restrict your own Sub Fleets movements!

    By the way,what happened to SOSUS,or is that just for tracking Whales for the Japs now?

    I hope that is the only thing he wants to go back to regarding the Cold War era British Army.

    Otherwise hospitals will be running flat out due to the demand for liver transplants and sports shops will see a marked decrease in the sale of training shoes.

    On the plus side the medal office will have plenty of down time.

    Was going to ask this last night, but it slipped my mind.
    Does Ivan still have CAESAR?
    HMS Queen Elizabeth. Fitted for but not with airyplanes.

    No thanks squire

    But being in the know, could you tell us what is happening with T26 ASW version?
    Seems they might come in handy in a few years.
