It's a civilian Navy...
If the Royal Navy needed to meet the Spanish Armada today...
They would need to take the train.

Royal Navy sailors who are responsible for tracking Russian warships are set to go on strike next week in a long-running dispute over pay.
Personnel from the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA), the civilian support arm of the Royal Navy, will stage industrial action on Thursday after rejecting a 4.5 per cent pay offer from the Ministry of Defence.
The RMT union, which represents the workers, said its members had seen their wages fall by around 30 per cent in real terms over the past decade.
Civilian sailors work shifts of up to 12 hours a day in some of the most demanding conditions at sea.
It's a civilian Navy...

As the Royal Navy has shrunk to its smallest size in living memory, the RFA’s role has grown considerably in recent years.
Britain now operates just seven frigates, most of which are currently in port undergoing maintenance.
Where once a Type 23 frigate would have been deployed to shadow Moscow's warships through British waters, the task has increasingly fallen to civilian RFA vessels.

Continued proof that the UK is done for.
The rest of Europe is on the same track and there's nothing they have to offer that can change direction.
For all you idiots crying about, "Trump is pushing our allies away", can seriously go frick off. The sooner we withdraw from NATO and withdraw from Europe, the better off the US will be.

The royal navy has effectively ceased to exist.

I'd take the Cajun navy any day over those people.

NATO was about defending western democracies.
Western democracies are starting to disappear, so what's the point of NATO?

Plus with the exception of Poland no European member of NATO could fight their way out of a wet paper bag. They are all so weak they can't threaten one another.
It's just time for the U.S. to leave. Work out deals to lease so bases so we can project power when needed but, as a formal alliance it's worthless.

I’ve been telling everyone for years that NATO an archaic relic of a different age, and it’s coming to an end
So many on here need to do it too.

If the US bails on NATO and pulls our Military out of Europe....the Muslim conquest will take place rapidly.

We already have videos of muslims chasing police out of muslim neighborhoods in France.
They have already been conquered...in almost all of the EU.

I'm almost ready to see the invasion from North Africa. Just don't let European refugees come here. Like Californians, they'll just do the same stupid shite that ruined their nations.
How ironic that we the Reagan generation will end up supporting a new Iron Curtain separating East and West Europe.... this time to protect what will be left of European civilization and Christendom from hordes that devour everything from Greece to the British Isles. Thank God for the Atlantic Ocean.

The reality of Europe is that now they are no more powerful than South America.
