Royal Navy Type 45 Destroyer?

The type 45 destroyer will not be built again, it has moved on from this, and in future the French navy will be a large part of the coastal and defence of this island, as will German submarines which we currently lease from them, 3 aircraft carriers are being planned, and at present will take nearly all the naval budget to make ready for sea, at present Britain no longer rules the waves, and can barely train it's fleet air arm pilots, and is restricted to saying "bang" for infantry training in field forces Exercises, an embarring, and politicised series of reviews of the defence needs of this country, has seen the budget halved and halved again, under Labour, ( A party that during Harold Wilson's time, was of the utter belief that the forces were intent on a coup at government level ), something that to this day, is believed by the party, that the forces are opposed to them as a government, ( actually this is known to be true, as well as the reasons for it being so, because successive labour governments have underpaid and restricted service awards, ), hence the fact that the Labour party was instrumental, quite intentionally, of preventing most overseas personnel from having a vote in the last two elections, where the base that they served from, and voted from, was a marginal Labour seat they simply failed to get ballots out to the troops, and lost returned postal ballots, do not hold your breath for any change in this position, we are now at the lamentable stage of having Sikorsky build our helicopters, ( even for air/sea rescue ), because we lost almost all our capacity to build them, when the conservatives sold off Bristows helicopters ( now an Italian-American firm ), and Apache helicopters we bought from America, that they want to charge us even more, for the software to be able to use them in Afghanistan, that are confined to the british isles and "Andrews" and the prince's party circuit until that is paid for, at a �1,5000,000 price tag per helicopter, and we wonder why our troops have to cadge lifts on yankee choppers to get anywhere in Afghanistan ? There is little chance of any naming or building under this incompetent shower, let alone much defense any more, of our lands or interests , do not hold anything, while you wait for any of this to happen...
