It is actually a Royal Fleet Auxiliary ship - RFA Cardigan Bay…
A timely reminder of the RFA’s vital work globally. Yet RFA sailors say they’ve suffered a real term pay cut over 14 years that amounts to 30% - and could take strike action if Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 don’t offer a better deal
As the first journalists inside MBDA's Storm Shadow production facility, classified 'secret', we watched as a group of highly skilled technicians assembled the weapons by hand Steven Swinford thetimes.co.uk/article/81b0dc…
Idea: Royal Navy recruitment ad with actual footage from the Red Sea.
This imagery is the best for 30+ years. We should be making the most of it, unapologetically. All the other good stuff the RN does is secondary to this; fighting and winning at sea.

The figure announced by Rishi Sunak of an extra £75bn for defence over 6 years (should he stay in power) was the only thing that made the 2.5% pledge sound meaningful. But if it’s just a fudge (⬇️) that would be staggering given the threats. Now isn’t the time for smoke & mirrors
Amid all the tough talk by PM Rishi Sunak about increasing UK defence spending, has anyone heard anything about a pay dispute with sailors in the Royal Navy's support fleet?
If Royal Fleet Auxiliary crews go on strike it would impact the ability of the entire navy to operate...
A pledge by the PM to put the arms industry on a 'war footing' & boost defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2030 will ring as hollow as his military unless he wins the election. So why didn't Rishi Sunak make the move sooner & aim higher given the threat?

BREAKING: UK is putting its defence industry on a 'war-footing' - investing £10 billion to ramp up production- as part of a plan to increase defence spending by 2.5% by 2030, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has declared.
This is a really big deal
