>>50106102>I already told you they performed a different role. The Island Class were fisheries protection off the coast of Scotland. They were already decommissioned and the river class are also replacing them.
>The new River Class vessels replace five Island Class offshore patrol vessels which entered service in 1979. The 1,260t Island Class are being transferred to the Bangladesh Navy.http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/river_class/>When construction is completed, HMS Forth and the other two planned OPVs will join the previous five River class ships that will replace the Island and Castle-class patrol vessels.http://www.gizmag.com/royal-navy-opv-shared-infrastructure/34212/>No I don't, I mean specifically the ones I said in my post. Jesus Christ, man, some of those Leaf Class were decommissioned back in the 70s3 of them were decommissioned after 2010, including a 50k tonne one in 2009.
>The National Audit Office reported that, during an "intensive attack", a single Type 45 could simultaneously track, engage and destroy more targets than five Type 42 destroyers operating together.Too bad 6 destroyers can only be in 6 places at the same time, not to mention this has everything to do with the advancement in tech, who would have thought, eh? Were you to build a new Type 42 the disparity would be marginal.
>They don't need a Cruiser class. It would be pointless.They still have a Cruiser class, I said one of their cruiser classed not all of them, far from pointless.
>China and India yes, they're building up from a low base. If they had strong navies several decades ago, they would also be getting smaller as they advancedThe chinese are already far outnumbering the UK navy
