Itsn not just spelling issues in the article, the rest is BS as well, specifically mention Fort Victoria going out of service without mentioning the ordered replacements thus implying that from then on the RN will have no stores support for the carriers.Jensy wrote: ↑29 Feb 2024, 18:01That useless, whining, wanker Wallace pissing on a tent that he's no longer welcome in.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... Wales.htmlLast night, Mr Wallace said: 'For the last 20 years the UK's Armed Forces have not been able to deliver to Nato what they have claimed.Meanwhile, Britain's most senior officer, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, 58, has postponed his retirement to continue advising Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. The Chief of the Defence Staff had been due to retire in November 2024.
"The HMS Prince of Wales...." really says all that needs to be said of the Mail's journalistic standards on Defence.
I couldn't make myself read more then the first bit but I thing the only 'source' in there is a link to there article in 2019 .
Also they said they had in-MOD sources but they spoke the quote from which I found a bit weird.
why: Gov cancelling the second carrier would be like to the MoD what cancelling of HS2 was for the DoT.
and not: Gov cancelling the second carrier would be very bad.
While the analogy is correct, I just found it weird, sounds like something a writer trying to add as many buzzwords into one article as possible would say.
