Not forgetting overlaid on both was the continuing Afghan civil war between numerous tribal warlords. It was a mess!

As far as I know, officers still don't swear allegiance to the Crown. Loyalty in the RN is a given.

I had a teacher who would never say anything when answering the phone, he'd just lift the receiver and wait for the caller to start the conversation. That was why they rang, after all! I like that.

The elongated build programmes of ships and submarines is a disgrace. It might support defence industry interests but does nothing to enable the recovery of the RN from its current parlous state!
