Originally posted by ancientmariner View PostBritannia Maritime Aid is more than that with a Chairman Capt K Slade and backed by Cammell Laird who produced a presentation for International Shipping Week in 2019 on the 135m Ro-Pax vessel. The Concept has the backing of the British parliament and two former Sea lords including Admiral Alan West. Our MRV will certainly be ideal for a substantial training role for all Services.It was the year of fire...the year of destruction...the year we took back what was ours.
It was the year of rebirth...the year of great sadness...the year of pain...and the year of joy.
It was a new age...It was the end of history.
It was the year everything changed.

Originally posted by ancientmariner View PostFrom what they in DOD say they are awaiting tender returns to gauge a final overall cost. They expect a ship around 2025, hopefully berthage and homeport is established in the meantime. Training for the roles will be a big part for PDF components. Whatever about length, the final length should be in proportion to a breadth of 20m or so. Best of luck with everything, a great asset for in fleet logistics. The RN have returned to Mediterranean with Albion and a Bay logs ship in support.
B2 OPV HMS Trent also operating in the Med with Operation Sea Guardian.

A lot has happened in the past 14 years, even in the past 5 years since WP15, let's see what the new wind in the DoD brings."Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "
"No, they're trying to fly the tank"
