The minister has announced 2 new ships every year since he got into office.
Total number of new ships delivered since 1990 = 2.

The white paper sought a need to maintain an 8 ship fleet. It currently stands at 8,with the Older PVs due for replacement commencing 2006-2008.
As mentioned elsewhere(again there is a search function) there are strong rumours that when this replacement happens,One of the ships will be replaced with a larger type vessel,capable of supporting overseas missions. But thats a long way off. This can be treated in the same way as the COS realising the need for helis capable of transporting troops for the Air Crps. We all know they are required,but will we ever get them?
I suggest you go back the archives of this section a bit to see what has been said on the topic in the last year and a half..

Well the waters of the pacific and indian ocean where this ship would Operate,contrary to popular belief,can be just as mean as the atlantic..if slightly warmer. Remember that the Roisin Class and Peacock were designed for similar waters.

What about crew requirements, she has a basic crew of 84, thats before you start adding in the CIWS or VLRs that make it a warship, could the NS run one or more of these on its current establishment?"It is a general popular error to imagine that loudest complainers for the public to be the most anxious for it's welfare" Edmund BurkeComment
