This isn't the topic to discuss the Type 31. Posts deleted. Fair enough, though it was in the context of T26 numbers, and a desire from some to fill in any gap to sell to Norway with cheap T31s. I guess I will have to wait once more for someone to explain what is the priority requirement for GP fri...

You are having a laugh, aren't you? No, but obviously you are. Why is it people roll our the personal (no, second hand) anecdotes when shown the facts. And yet they are complicit in the alleged wrong doing, or it's clearly a pile of nonsense. The NHS is one of the most highly audited organisations ...

Shock horror what about some SM6 to go in the Mk41 VLS rather than Aster which don't.* You want to add SM6 to the T31 at almost $5m a missile? Seems unlikely. Not specifically T31, T26 too if we want hypersonic and ballistic on them. What would be cheaper buying from Raytheon or getting MBDA France...

You're definitely not MI, maybe you were MPGS with skills like that?

Well you seemed to have great knowledge of the file sizes of diagnostic imaging.

….If it is mini-sub in Persian Gulf, how about several dozens of slowish UUVs and USVs with active VDS + TASS, with Sat-Com? If it is in a confined water, emerging UUV/USV technology is a bigger threat against submarine much more than a surface vessel. Sounds like a larger deployment than even a T3...

Now you are just being ridiculous. Since it seems to miss so much, it can't be that good. Do you have an issue with facts? As for the substance of what I said, how do you think these cases were known? People in a position to know did blow the whistle. People did get caught. People did get sanctione...

PS still think that debugging a system on a deployed warship isn't the smartest idea around. After all, that was the approach taken with the Type 45 propulsion system. Saved oodles on money not testing it out onshore first. (Buff)Hoon must be very proud :roll: Type 45 propulsion system was tested o...

The whole thing is structured incorrectly. Look at the link you posted, take Australia and UK, looking at OECD figures Aus is spending 16% more on healthcare per head than we are. So more but not an unreasonable difference, about $879 per head. They have 424% more MRIs and CT machines than the NHS,...

I can look out of my living room window and see on my phone why my neighbours car failed it's MOT in 2016, yet my surgeon has to get his secretary to write to another hospital to get my records!!! We've had computer linked banking since the 1970's for Christ's sake... It's absolutely pathetic quite...

That's not how reform works.

Yes it is how proper reform works. Reform with even more cash is just papering over the cracks.

"The NHS is internationally recognised as being one of the most cost efficient health care systems in the world." Noone can say you don't have a sense of humour.... It's just reality. Perhaps you could join us here sometime? https://www.kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-analysis/blogs/comparin...

Ok lets go with your view that the NHS is the best thing since sliced bread and can do no wrong and any issues it does have would magically disappear with a bit more cash. How much more money does it need? £5bn\year, £10bn\year, £100bn\year? I've said nothing of the sort. You clearly believe that t...

https://www.defensenews.com/naval/2024/04/15/aukus-sub-design-deemed-mature-as-nations-debate-top-technologies/ Some comments were quite distraught about the comments in this article about the reactor being a US design, potentially sideswiping UK industry, at least for the design. All UK built subs...

I have but you clearly don't understand it. The link you posted shows the spending in 'real terms' i.e. inflation is accounted for. It confirms on average NHS spending has increased 3.6% a year after inflation. That's after economic inflation (as basket of goods), that's not the inflation that the ...

How do you see that working?

Well as an island nation, ignoring the channel tunnel, the Army has to go by sea to deliver any weight.

What unmanned kit would it operate? There is no current unmanned kit for ASW.

NHS funding isn't in disarray it is higher than it has ever been, and that includes billions added by the Tories. Most cuts in government spending in the 14 years have been LAs, who are responsible for social care and the roads. That's such a false representation. The NHS is under increasing pressu...

The Telegraph article linked to up thread for one, it uses the phase 'at least' a number of times. The article also talks about fo...
