"We have already looked at the Rivers on this thread (there is a good chance the RN will be keeping them)"
If the British Navy decides to keep them it would be a very sensible decision, they could establish a proper (EEZ Protection Squadron) based in Scotland. I'm sure the Scottish govt. would appreciate the gesture.
However I don't think the Admirals are very interested in OPVs and if they become available 2-3 Rivers in the hand are worth more than 2 CPVs in a bush.
