WHen I was looking at the CIA factbook I read that Ireland has a GNP of 104.7bill, and a population of 3.88mill. Singapore has a population of 4.45mill and a GNP of 106bill. They should have simaler milltary capabilites. so lets comapare:
Sinapore
6 3000 tons French desginesd multirole corvettes under construction.
6 600 tons patrol craft.
6 500 tons FACs.
6 500 tons ASW patrol craft.
6 2540 tons patrol boats.
4 SSKs
4 8,500 tons LSDs 350 troops 18 tanks + 20 APCs.
1 5600 tons LSD, 530 troops, 340 tons of cargo.
4 360 tons minhunters.
Ireland
1 1,915 tons corvette.
2 1,700 tons corvettes.
3 1,003 tons corvettes.
2 712 tons patrol boats.
SHoulden't Ireland's navy be more like Singapore's, especially since Singpore is experincing negitive growth and Ireland is not. and why not. And is there a chance it will change anytime soon, because I intentionally left out the air arms to make it not look as bad. I think ireland should mold it's navy along the lines of the Singapore navy like Collins tried to mold the IRish army after the swiss one.
