Tell them to come to Cardiff, the brand new Type45 Destroyer HMS Dragon ( replacement for HMS Type 44 Destroyer HMS Cardiff decommissioned last year ) pulled into Cardiff docks this morning and we want some action

Sadly the Navy go for camouflage & minimal target aspect, not pretty colours. Im all for the paint it RED and shouting 'come and have a go if ya think your hard enough' but then that easy for me to say since I dont sail into battle with them lol

As long as the Dragon stays on his little island, that is perfectly fine, of course.

So true, all fancy tech, smooth composite surfaces and hidden missiles, where's the BIG guns ? The several inches of steel plate held on with rivets ?
Warships should look like when you hit them with big hammer, its the hammer that gets hurt lol
We should have two fleets, one to scare people, the monstrous imposing ships, and one to actually do the killing, these sleek sneaky tech boats
