Its not about the size of the navy, its about the quality of the men and women who serve aboard Royal Navy ships. The UK has fended off numerous opponents whilst outnumbered and the Royal Navy has won numerous battles during its service to the United Kingdom, yes due to cuts and ships being mothballed we are not quite where we once were but we're still capable of defending not just the UK but also our allies, the seas and all interests.
Absolutely agree. The Royal Navy may not be the biggest in the world anymore but they are still 100% the BEST. They've been best for... ohh.... five hundred years now and will continue to be for centuries to come. Check out Drachinifel's video about the voyage of the Russian 2nd Pacific Squadron. Near the start of that voyage the Russians mistook the trawlers of Hull Fishing Fleet for Japanese torpedo boats (yeah.... they did.....) and opened fire managing to damage a couple and sink one. The Tsar immediately apologised and made restitution, but until the crisis was settled the ships of the RN Channel Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet were ordered to stand to and prepare in case the two sides ended up going to war. After Admiral Beresford, commander of the Med Fleet, studied what had happened and saw the ABYSMAL Russian gunnery (one ship firing more than 300 rounds and not hitting ANYTHING) he wrote that he was preparing a "chivalrous" response, and he'd send four of his battleships to deal with the Russian fleet. The Russian fleet that had 29 warships. Yeah. Even all those years ago the Royal Navy STILL had a sense of humour.....

Being a patriotic Brit I’m sure the Royal Navy is bloody good especially considering its relatively small size. The deployed technology is cutting edge. But and there is always a but, bigger Navies sheer weight of numbers could be a handful.

The Royal Navy is the shop window for BAE Systems. Both the European navies and Russian shadow box all the time, its a pantomine based on the MAD principle (Mutual Assured Destruction). Ourselves, the French and the US in NATO all have sub launched nuclear missiles. There are many other countries (unofficially) have nuclear tipped deployable missiles. Most of the modern navies have the technology but not the locker of weapons or personel (serving and technical) to actually deploy their fleets. The UK can maybe deploy eight escorts, three subs, and some glorified fisheries protection vessels (River Class). If it got into a shooting war it doesn't have the auxillary ships to re-supply (Europe certainly doesn't). There are three higher technical and skilled (smaller) navies in the world that can actually deploy ships in numbers, none are in Europe. They are Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Sorry to burst the bubble of eneryone but the Royal Navy (and I'm British) is not as strong as everyone thinks. If it wasn't for US backing it would not be able to deploy the aircraft carriers (essentially second decks for the US Maine Corps) and subs (the engines and missiles are all based on US technology transfer). Type 45 may look all very nice but three are always being repaired and the UK doesn't have the money to actually arm them for conflict. Oh, shooting down cheap Iranian drones doesn't count.
Haha, best navy in the world. The Royal Navy could be destroyed in one day. USA USA USA We are top dog! You are our bitches… Suck it up you has- beens.
Again as a Brit I am please to see our naval capabilities modernise, but as well as acting alone the Royal Navy is part of NATO. A force that Russia does not want to take on. I would say Putin’s war on Ukraine has proved how inadequate his military is and suffering a 20% loss of ships in the back sea to a country without a naval force again points to Russia’s over estimation of it’s capability.
Rah Rah Royal Navy. Im British BTW. While the RN does have some good and very good ships. It does not have nearly enough of anything. Typical penny pinching and head in the sand thinking from the politicians. The rule of thumb for warships is four. Number One on station doing its job. Number two working up to replace the first on station, or be surged out. Number three is in pier side maintenance . Number four has its guts strewn across a drydock in refit. The UK has six Daring class ASW Destroyers. We were supposed to have 12. With 12, that's three out doing its job. It all goes to hell if a single ship has an accident or is sunk with six. More hulls means less wear on ship and crews. So both last longer. The US Navy has been effectively running on a Wartime footing since 2001. With a third of the USN at sea at anyone time. Which is why ships are wearing out and crew retention is falling. The RN and The USN are in the same boat (ha). Neither have any cheap plentiful ships to show up and show a countries interest aka showing the flag. We both have to sent billion plus tier One ships. As that's all they both have left. So more wear on ships and crews racing all over the planet to show the flag. The UK needs to return to its national strength. Boots on the ground has never been the British strength. The UK can never generate a realistic ground force due to the population numbers. The Cold War British forces in Germany where a historical aberration. The UK need severely expand the RN. Its politicians rushing British Forces all over to look "tough". The RN does not have the ships to just peel off a Daring to zip across to wherever for some politician's whim. Rant almost over :) If the RN had the ships as specified when first ordered (12 Darings and three QE Carriers etc). We would have enough hulls to do everything being asked of the RN with some slack.
@@Yandarval we should have never moffball our other carrier. Wasted tax payers money, look at hs2. What a joke. The politicians dont know how to budget and waste whole load of cash.
You need to read your history lad on how the Americans deliberately set out to bankrupt Britain during and after WW2 and forced you to give up your empire.
The elephant in the Ward room is that Britain’s defences (including the RN) have been hollowed out. We need more ships, planes, troops and tanks to meet the most daunting international situation for decades.
A vast library of sonar information is a edge in any form of naval warfare, some libraries contain books but the naval library contains information on everything submarine and surface systems and other military matters, knowledge is power
As a Brit, I am happy that, Finally, the Government appears to be changing their attitude to the Armed Forces. To be Honest I thought that Labour Policy was being implemented There is FAR MORE to do to Restore the UK Military after YEARS of Cuts, but in terms of Innovation and Technology, we do appear to possess a cutting edge in most areas Rich Rishi cannot keep Labour Out. God knows who, in Central Office, ever thought he could Possibly be Popular in Today's UK. He does NOTHING he says he will do. Boats? What Boats?
I can you have no idea what you talking about , i'm brit myself i love my country but if you think that russia fighting a proxy war agains the whole nato for almost 2 years is "incompetence"you should really get educated about these stuff.
Get yourself over to the frontline and test out that Incompetence and if you make it back I'd be delighted to hear your version of Russian Incompetence. As for a 2nd class Navy, it's bigger than ours and probably better tooled up weapon wise and Tech savvy, so they've lost a couple of ships, it's a war, you do tend to lose things, however with something like 40 + countries emptying their stocks of military eqp't and supplies ie NATO basically fk'ed Russia is still winning.
@@mac2626 because Russia destroyed their Navy, cast your mind back to 1982 if your old enough, where we Brits lost a good amount of our Navy to Argentina
Britain's pride. We must be on top of the many naval threats as our very life blood depends on the sea. Though now four decades ago the Falklands war did a lot to wake us up to how important the navy is.
Sometimes? Mate, our procurement process has been a mess since the 1970s. The Army are always put last. With the defence secretary asking the Royal Marines to justify their existence recently, I suspect the fighting men of the Royal Navy are about to experience the same disregard our Army have lived with for decades. Imagine asking the Royal Marines to justify their existence! I was an Infantry soldier for 13 years, it was the Royal Marines I respected the most, not the Paras (although they are worthy of respect).
The boys in the air also have their owngoing thing too. I'd back the Royal Navy every time when needed to be called on and that goes for all the other Forces too. No matter their state!
A pity that the Royal Navy's "cutting-edge technology and centuries' worth of maritime experience" is of no use in stopping the invasion of rubber dinghies that is in progress along the Southern coast.
@@Bob10009 The only ones talking bollox here are those in this propaganda video, blindly following their Führers... the politicians wearing suits who are good at beating their chests like gorillas while sending a young generation into iron coffins to fight supposedly evil Russians. There is no honor in dying as a tool for a fool of a 'Ser', especially not to enrich the rich elites of the Blackrock conglomerate.
Winning a short battle against the Royal Navy may happen. Surprise and a clever plan can do that sometimes. You aren't however, going to win the war. The British have a lot of good hardware and love to fight. Better bet on Britain.
Britain/ Europe gets SOSUS line and Baltic. USA Gets First Island Chain and Persian Gulf stuff. France and Spain (If they are participating with the west are working the Mediterranean/ East atlantic.
We cannot work the Dover Strait. Nor could we stop Somali pirates a few years ago. Pathetic effort. The Iranian Gunboats- tiny little runabouts- run rings around HMS Duncan regularly. They just take the piss out of us.
Britain and the USA both have equal understanding of how they must maintain control of the sea for overall security. The USA has strategic depth, Britain has to remain tactical/ operational due to limits of their economy and proximity of the threat to their borders. I tam surprised that the USA is not starting up another bunch of Burke Class (Ticonderogas maybe?) with a hull extension to take missiles as large as the minuteman..... for ballistic interceptors that can be deployed forward, or very deep magazines to increase fleet ordnance supplies afloat.
The Burke hull is tapped completely out. Its a 70s hullform. Just look at what it was like when launched and now. The flight III Burkes are hauling 1300 more long tonnes around then when launched. Burkes are a Sardine tin now. Any and all available space has already been used for upgrades. What's needed is a new hull design. If the Zumwalt infrastructure had not been canned. Thats the hullforn the US should have continued with. The Zumwalts have the space and power generation for a huge weapon fit. Its the usual suspects that canned it. The hullform and engines design works fine. Its only the Koolaid weapon systems it was supposed to have that are vaporware. If only the the block III Burkes weapons and sensor fit have been "slapped" on to a Zumwalt. You US would not have had to restart Burke production with a crash programme.
Our Navy is one of the best and most experienced in the world. I would like to see more budget made available for these brave men and women to help them be the best they can be, whilst defending our home land. Russia waste more money on defence, than the whole of the UK budget.
In a perfect world, this would be a really uplifting video, however.Even if our military naval hardware are as state of the art as claimed, there's a few massive problems. Our Royal Navy and it's fleet of fighting ships is so pathetically tiny, it's going to be useless against any modern, substantially large military naval forces it may have to fight, unless ( as with our army and royal air forces) they can miraculously be in 10 places at once.The other thing is...... Because the building and assembly contracts of our modern fighting ships are given to the cheapest bidders,a LARGE percentage of them are constantly not fit for purpose and being repaired. I often listen to people complaining about the number of foreign people who have settled in our country and I have to tell them something very important. This country has now got a population of well over 60 million, which means a hell of a lot more taxes and duties being plowed into the government, so...If the NHS has been stripped and stretched to breaking point, and our once mighty armed forces have been all but destroyed by the British government, where's all our money gone and going???????
You mean the Royal BRITISH Navy? I'm sorry, I was a bit confused when I saw His Majesty's Evertsen (F805) at 1:08, which is also a vessel of the Royal Navy, but in this case the Royal Netherlands Navy. Don't just hussel some stock footage around like it doesn't matter
Being that we only have a dozen or so active war ships it'll be prudent to keep away from other countries sea lanes and just protect our British coastline,
How many years are needed to replace an RN warship? 5 - 8 yes Therefore we can't afford to lose a ship in a war. Why have such power projection capability when is irreplaceable?
Within NATO, the term ‘RN’ is usually replaced by ‘UKN’, to avoid confusion. This has been the routine for more than 40 years. It is used mainly to identify naval staff source service, for example, ‘Commander Bloggs UKN.
The threat of 'Sirs' stuck in the safety of staff rooms, playing wargames on digital screens not having enough toy soldiers, grunts and tools to send to their deaths I believe and making us pay for it, for they say it is OUR war too.
Most recently I hear vitriol and angst towards the UK from Russia and I don’t where that is coming from or what is pissing the Russians off ! Surely the Russians don’t think that the Brits took out their pipeline there has to be some verbal bruha going on ! I hope the Brits tread lightly here !
The first carrier ever built was British; the UK has far more experience building ships than the US. It’s an island, a seafaring nation whose empire was built from its naval prowess dating back centuries.
The Americans got there ideas for their amazing F35 hover aircraft from our British made harrier jump jet but still just as brilliant as our own hover jet but sadly not in service anymore and my favourite aircraft made by our US brothers and sisters is the tornado jet and my favourite US helicopter the apache gun ship not sure anyone will want to mess with and us British love our American family across the pond we work together share the same ideas together and build things ❤️ 🇬🇧🇺🇸
@@David-e9r8m Not only that, the actual lift fan in the F35 that enables its vertical takeoff and landing is made by Rolls Royce PLC (British owned - only the motors branch is German owned now). Over 30% of the aircraft is British made.
Yes, analyse, muss work together. But we also need to be Ready to protect ourselves at the same time you should never rely on your allies alone Friends always can turn on You. friends
Is that western propaganda designed to keep the spirits high? Serious question! I immigrated to US 9 years ago and i can proudly call myself an American citizenand seeing a video about our allies being strong only makes me feel more secure and confident but i assume the russians and the chinese ppls have similar content floating around about north Korea operating 14 aircraft carriers or something like this.😂
Which is presumably why India once again has sided with Russia, nothing to do with the discount oil they can purchase at the expense of millions of Ukrainian lives. How moral India is.
This is the story of 2 very different navys. The Royal navy is very small. But very modern. And quite capable. While the Russian navy is quite large. But very antiquated. And has few, read that as a handful, of modern ships. And is much less capable. Think Korean War era technology.
Need to pull their finger out !!! I know its not the navy but the financial hub of the western world can only afford to send Ukrsine 60 million ?? absolute disgrace !!!
it is about the size over the MSN. if youvstatehjcally place fleets all over the World and establish dominance you can attack anywhere with multiple strikes and the new subs will be with each fleet every singke thing you see on thr Arial Navy seems to be American built. The m134 mini the Chinooks the f35s Bushmaster 30mm the browning 50cal so obviously if they are using alot of American made things then seems to make sense that The US probably didn't give them everything sell them everything it's nice to see them using the f35 program as they replace the Harrier. If you watch videos of what the US SOCOM uses and develoles its crazy theres all sorts of new maned and uunmaned small vessels and subs even for the Devgru the seats hsve several crafts sone that act as a delivery system and drive back to base others can drive right up into a destroyers park. What we have is Nato abd wd share our technology and information and protect bodies of water for potential threats and unwanted colonization piracy and harassment to commercial vessels. It's shown to be in extreme up in the north where countries like Norway Sweden are terrified and must protect their coasts and I'm sure Gb would come to their aid as the US would. who would go head to head with china's Navy. I believe it's an upmost importance to avoid conflict on both sides.
There is no doubt that technology plays role and at current state Russian Navy is no match for the Royal one. But when fuming Kuznetsov is putting shame on Russians we do have to ask how often is Queen Elizabeth air carrier is out to the sea? Repairs are taking longer than active duty. Then the next question is how many Astute subs are available and how many are functional? I do not believe that they are a match against quantities of Boreys and Yasens Russians have. And frankly, I think that the latter two are great boats - even Americans agree. But the biggest concern is that if it will come to direct battle then 6000 nuclear warheads Russians possess are somewhat overwhelming disbalance over 200 British ones. I wonder if this accident, God forbid, occurs will all these boats have a harbour or even a whole island to return to. Can we discuss what happens if one single Sarmat falls close? So what is the purpose of this spectacular Milky Way ad?
@@zamstig66 the F35B is slower,.heavier & carries less fuel & weapons than the F35C that the US Navy use, & we've had to buy the F35B because carriers have no cats & traps. They are basically over sized US Marine carriers! Originally they were to have cats & traps that's why they are so big but the politicians go involved saying to expensive midway they the build! & We ended up with 2 oversized Vtol carriers.
@@gcarter1973 F-35C cannot be refuelled by the RAF…..so for us the B has greater range. 😎 Our carriers are indeed more like USMC carriers….because that’s more like the role the RN serves. Why else do you think our carriers were designed to carry a large number of Royal Marines ? Why else do you think the USMC have already deployed onboard several times ? We simply cannot afford super carriers like the USN…..but we can do carriers far better than the USMC.
The Royal Navy is all show. Aircraft carriers without aircraft just sums them up. Whenever the Russians turn up the royal navy just panics and flees (outmanouvers😂) as soon as possible. Pathetic.
Financial overstretch, the RN reflects this pressure. Economic decline meets ever higher cost of its upkeep. The war in the Ukraine, has past its zenith, a political settlement, an unspoken as yet coming. A million lives lost, perhaps Russian and Ukrainian. Nato eastern expansion curtailed ? A game of thrones power tragedy. Except for arms manufacturers.
Thay are building up the navy...but having difficulty in recruiting enough to run the ships,thay might be moth balling some because of that......apparently
I think all allies should be exercising their weaknesses within the military as a collective group. To expose nato short coming. Against all military adversary
I know the United States fleets are extremely equipped since WW2 defeating the bigger Japanese ships and guns our new Naval ships are equipped with great sensors radar and our new Subs coming out in the next few years replacing the Ohio class will make the US Navy the world's best. as you can see pit aircraft carriers are larger then the British ones. I know the Chinese have extremely large carriers and are spending money following our Worlds hold. I'm not worried about Russia om more worried about China but with France Norway GB US and Japan I believe we hsve the upper hands against China and Russia ots known that China doesn't even help out Russia in Maritine issues as Ukraine basically yore apart their black sea fleet. Fance just rebuilt their old Carrier too.
We were the best when I served, we are still the best Navy in the world, all nato navies train with us because we are still the best we offer better world domination training programs
what ever beliefs you hold they will always be a problem with your opposite. Get rid of religion and ideology, and we live in a more peaceful lives in our world. We will never go any where if we dont work together.
You have to admit the US has made some of the best aircraft in the world and the fastest like the RS super fast black bird spy plane that flies 2500 mph

The RN and The USN are in the same boat (ha). Neither have any cheap plentiful ships to show up and show a countries interest aka showing the flag. We both have to sent billion plus tier One ships. As that's all they both have left. So more wear on ships and crews racing all over the planet to show the flag.
The UK needs to return to its national strength. Boots on the ground has never been the British strength. The UK can never generate a realistic ground force due to the population numbers. The Cold War British forces in Germany where a historical aberration.
The UK need severely expand the RN. Its politicians rushing British Forces all over to look "tough". The RN does not have the ships to just peel off a Daring to zip across to wherever for some politician's whim.
Rant almost over :)
If the RN had the ships as specified when first ordered (12 Darings and three QE Carriers etc). We would have enough hulls to do everything being asked of the RN with some slack.
Darings reduced from 12 to 8 by Blair. Reduced from 8 to 6 by Brown. Thanks boys!

You need to read your history lad on how the Americans deliberately set out to bankrupt Britain during and after WW2 and forced you to give up your empire.

The elephant in the Ward room is that Britain’s defences (including the RN) have been hollowed out. We need more ships, planes, troops and tanks to meet the most daunting international situation for decades.

After seeing Russian Army and all its incompetence, I wouldn’t put too much credence into there 2nd class Navy!
I can you have no idea what you talking about , i'm brit myself i love my country but if you think that russia fighting a proxy war agains the whole nato for almost 2 years is "incompetence"you should really get educated about these stuff.
@@Bluez2125Your about as British as Mad Vlad the man who’s lost half the Black Sea Fleet to a country without a navy.😂🤣😂
AHAHAHAHAHAH ROYAL NAVY IS INCOMPETENT NOT RUSSIA NAVY. NO ONE STORM SHADOW CAN HIT CRIMEA ANYMORE. UK BECAME A TIERCE WORLD COUNTRY
Get yourself over to the frontline and test out that Incompetence and if you make it back I'd be delighted to hear your version of Russian Incompetence.
As for a 2nd class Navy, it's bigger than ours and probably better tooled up weapon wise and Tech savvy, so they've lost a couple of ships, it's a war, you do tend to lose things, however with something like 40 + countries emptying their stocks of military eqp't and supplies ie NATO basically fk'ed Russia is still winning.
@@mac2626 because Russia destroyed their Navy, cast your mind back to 1982 if your old enough, where we Brits lost a good amount of our Navy to Argentina
Britain's pride. We must be on top of the many naval threats as our very life blood depends on the sea. Though now four decades ago the Falklands war did a lot to wake us up to how important the navy is.
Every point made in this segment has to compensate the British procurement process which sometimes seems haphazard.
Sometimes? Mate, our procurement process has been a mess since the 1970s. The Army are always put last. With the defence secretary asking the Royal Marines to justify their existence recently, I suspect the fighting men of the Royal Navy are about to experience the same disregard our Army have lived with for decades. Imagine asking the Royal Marines to justify their existence! I was an Infantry soldier for 13 years, it was the Royal Marines I respected the most, not the Paras (although they are worthy of respect).
The boys in the air also have their owngoing thing too.
I'd back the Royal Navy every time when needed to be called on and that goes for all the other Forces too. No matter their state!
A pity that the Royal Navy's "cutting-edge technology and centuries' worth of maritime experience" is of no use in stopping the invasion of rubber dinghies that is in progress along the Southern coast.
It’s not their job 🤦🏻♂️

Winning a short battle against the Royal Navy may happen. Surprise and a clever plan can do that sometimes.
You aren't however, going to win the war. The British have a lot of good hardware and love to fight.
Better bet on Britain.
They don't leave Portsmouth easy.
Britain/ Europe gets SOSUS line and Baltic. USA Gets First Island Chain and Persian Gulf stuff. France and Spain (If they are participating with the west are working the Mediterranean/ East atlantic.
We cannot work the Dover Strait. Nor could we stop Somali pirates a few years ago. Pathetic effort. The Iranian Gunboats- tiny little runabouts- run rings around HMS Duncan regularly. They just take the piss out of us.
Britain and the USA both have equal understanding of how they must maintain control of the sea for overall security. The USA has strategic depth, Britain has to remain tactical/ operational due to limits of their economy and proximity of the threat to their borders.
I tam surprised that the USA is not starting up another bunch of Burke Class (Ticonderogas maybe?) with a hull extension to take missiles as large as the minuteman..... for ballistic interceptors that can be deployed forward, or very deep magazines to increase fleet ordnance supplies afloat.
The Brits and Yanks are going to bring the Aussies onboard with the latest sub tech. The five eyes group could take on the world and win.
I wouldn't even go to the cinema with the one who escaped from Afghanistan as a mouse.
The Burke hull is tapped completely out. Its a 70s hullform. Just look at what it was like when launched and now. The flight III Burkes are hauling 1300 more long tonnes around then when launched. Burkes are a Sardine tin now. Any and all available space has already been used for upgrades. What's needed is a new hull design. If the Zumwalt infrastructure had not been canned. Thats the hullforn the US should have continued with. The Zumwalts have the space and power generation for a huge weapon fit. Its the usual suspects that canned it. The hullform and engines design works fine. Its only the Koolaid weapon systems it was supposed to have that are vaporware. If only the the block III Burkes weapons and sensor fit have been "slapped" on to a Zumwalt. You US would not have had to restart Burke production with a crash programme.

What’s documentary called
BRITANIA RULES THE WAVES 🇬🇧
remember the HMS HOOD
Glory to British Royal Navy !!!
*Royal Navy. It’s the only navy in the world not qualified by nation. So the correct term is simply: Royal Navy.
"Suddenly a submarine, a blip on the RADAR" Yeah, Subs do not appear on RADAR, they appear on SONAR.
With modern missile systems large naval assets are very vulnerable.
Depends on Défense of these assets, You dont put Assets in harms way if you cannot defend them.
as it stands now there is no defence against hypersonic missiles. I know Ukraine claims to have shot down some but that turns out being false
Peace is the way forward
Our Navy is one of the best and most experienced in the world. I would like to see more budget made available for these brave men and women to help them be the best they can be, whilst defending our home land. Russia waste more money on defence, than the whole of the UK budget.
In a perfect world, this would be a really uplifting video, however.Even if our military naval hardware are as state of the art as claimed, there's a few massive problems. Our Royal Navy and it's fleet of fighting ships is so pathetically tiny, it's going to be useless against any modern, substantially large military naval forces it may have to fight, unless ( as with our army and royal air forces) they can miraculously be in 10 places at once.The other thing is...... Because the building and assembly contracts of our modern fighting ships are given to the cheapest bidders,a LARGE percentage of them are constantly not fit for purpose and being repaired. I often listen to people complaining about the number of foreign people who have settled in our country and I have to tell them something very important. This country has now got a population of well over 60 million, which means a hell of a lot more taxes and duties being plowed into the government, so...If the NHS has been stripped and stretched to breaking point, and our once mighty armed forces have been all but destroyed by the British government, where's all our money gone and going???????
We maybe smaller these days but we are and always will the best 🇬🇧
You mean the Royal BRITISH Navy? I'm sorry, I was a bit confused when I saw His Majesty's Evertsen (F805) at 1:08, which is also a vessel of the Royal Navy, but in this case the Royal Netherlands Navy. Don't just hussel some stock footage around like it doesn't matter
Being that we only have a dozen or so active war ships it'll be prudent to keep away from other countries sea lanes and just protect our British coastline,
How to change the print size on hp pronter
How many years are needed to replace an RN warship? 5 - 8 yes
Therefore we can't afford to lose a ship in a war. Why have such power projection capability when is irreplaceable?
Brillant video fair play commentary top class
Within NATO, the term ‘RN’ is usually replaced by ‘UKN’, to avoid confusion. This has been the routine for more than 40 years. It is used mainly to identify naval staff source service, for example, ‘Commander Bloggs UKN.
Erm… No.
I'm a little confused by the headline, What Threats ? Where ? What contested waters ?
You're not the only one.
The threat of 'Sirs' stuck in the safety of staff rooms, playing wargames on digital screens not having enough toy soldiers, grunts and tools to send to their deaths I believe and making us pay for it, for they say it is OUR war too.
I swear that carrier was on fire
Most recently I hear vitriol and angst towards the UK from Russia and I don’t where that is coming from or what is pissing the Russians off ! Surely the Russians don’t think that the Brits took out their pipeline there has to be some verbal bruha going on ! I hope the Brits tread lightly here !
British Royal Navy makes another pot of tea because that's all they can do.
This is of all times in the cold war in the seventees, lots of Skunks mostly Elint trawlers .
The Brits are great allies....I'm glad they're enjoying our F35 Lightning fighters. No one can build carriers like we can, though.
The first carrier ever built was British; the UK has far more experience building ships than the US. It’s an island, a seafaring nation whose empire was built from its naval prowess dating back centuries.
You lost a lot at Midway Then Brit carriers Got your Back
The Americans got there ideas for their amazing F35 hover aircraft from our British made harrier jump jet but still just as brilliant as our own hover jet but sadly not in service anymore and my favourite aircraft made by our US brothers and sisters is the tornado jet and my favourite US helicopter the apache gun ship not sure anyone will want to mess with and us British love our American family across the pond we work together share the same ideas together and build things ❤️ 🇬🇧🇺🇸
@@David-e9r8m Not only that, the actual lift fan in the F35 that enables its vertical takeoff and landing is made by Rolls Royce PLC (British owned - only the motors branch is German owned now). Over 30% of the aircraft is British made.

The Royal navy only has 12 warships that are available to be deployed.
Pity they can't patrol the channel.
Why WWI and WWII clips?
Is that western propaganda designed to keep the spirits high? Serious question! I immigrated to US 9 years ago and i can proudly call myself an American citizenand seeing a video about our allies being strong only makes me feel more secure and confident but i assume the russians and the chinese ppls have similar content floating around about north Korea operating 14 aircraft carriers or something like this.😂
I hope all this technology is EMP protected...............
Kinžal, Cirkon and?.?
Unlikely. Too small nowdays.
The Royal Navy doesn’t fly the union flag at sea, they fly the White Ensign please try and get your facts right.
The Russian navy has a chance. It may not be a GOOD chance, but it's a chance.
India found out how good the master USA & British were in1971 tried to attack India they ran away when seen Russias submarine
Which is presumably why India once again has sided with Russia, nothing to do with the discount oil they can purchase at the expense of millions of Ukrainian lives. How moral India is.
Lol, I think not deploying to the red sea to help global shipping against really small navies shows you ain't gonna deploy against Russia guaranteed.
The Russian navy is not a blue water navy. The US and Royal navies are.
We have deployed 3 ships, how much more do u want deployed...
@@EnglishScripter why have a "super" carrier if you are too scared to use it? What does it do besides waste money doing nothing?

what would adm nelson do ??? foward i believe sir
This is the story of 2 very different navys. The Royal navy is very small. But very modern. And quite capable.
While the Russian navy is quite large. But very antiquated. And has few, read that as a handful, of modern ships. And is much less capable. Think Korean War era technology.
If any navy is antiquated, it's the less-than-capable Royal Navy. It;s better served staying at home when the Russian navy is in the vicinity!
This is content for children. Written by children. Primary age children, at that.
Fancy showing an aircraft carrier at sea flying the Union Jack, Royal Navy vessels at sea fly the White Ensign.
Does Russia still have Navy ships that stay above water?
Sure they do, but regardless of intended class of ship, they are used primarily as smoke screen vessels.

@@Olizimm That's a great European union you advocate here friend... taking to your allies against evil Russia like that...tsk tsk.
Can these ships survive an EMP blast?
EMP blast means nuclear war has started. None of us survive that.
it is about the size over the MSN. if youvstatehjcally place fleets all over the World and establish dominance you can attack anywhere with multiple strikes and the new subs will be with each fleet every singke thing you see on thr Arial Navy seems to be American built. The m134 mini the Chinooks the f35s Bushmaster 30mm the browning 50cal so obviously if they are using alot of American made things then seems to make sense that The US probably didn't give them everything sell them everything it's nice to see them using the f35 program as they replace the Harrier. If you watch videos of what the US SOCOM uses and develoles its crazy theres all sorts of new maned and uunmaned small vessels and subs even for the Devgru the seats hsve several crafts sone that act as a delivery system and drive back to base others can drive right up into a destroyers park. What we have is Nato abd wd share our technology and information and protect bodies of water for potential threats and unwanted colonization piracy and harassment to commercial vessels. It's shown to be in extreme up in the north where countries like Norway Sweden are terrified and must protect their coasts and I'm sure Gb would come to their aid as the US would. who would go head to head with china's Navy. I believe it's an upmost importance to avoid conflict on both sides.
There is no doubt that technology plays role and at current state Russian Navy is no match for the Royal one. But when fuming Kuznetsov is putting shame on Russians we do have to ask how often is Queen Elizabeth air carrier is out to the sea? Repairs are taking longer than active duty. Then the next question is how many Astute subs are available and how many are functional? I do not believe that they are a match against quantities of Boreys and Yasens Russians have. And frankly, I think that the latter two are great boats - even Americans agree. But the biggest concern is that if it will come to direct battle then 6000 nuclear warheads Russians possess are somewhat overwhelming disbalance over 200 British ones. I wonder if this accident, God forbid, occurs will all these boats have a harbour or even a whole island to return to. Can we discuss what happens if one single Sarmat falls close? So what is the purpose of this spectacular Milky Way ad?
Navy is far to small & the two carriers don't have cats & traps 🤦🏼♂️
pretty sure they are built around the use of vtol fighters, so there isnt really the need as we dont use typhoons on the carriers
@@zamstig66 the F35B is slower,.heavier & carries less fuel & weapons than the F35C that the US Navy use, & we've had to buy the F35B because carriers have no cats & traps. They are basically over sized US Marine carriers! Originally they were to have cats & traps that's why they are so big but the politicians go involved saying to expensive midway they the build! & We ended up with 2 oversized Vtol carriers.
@@gcarter1973 F-35C cannot be refuelled by the RAF…..so for us the B has greater range. 😎 Our carriers are indeed more like USMC carriers….because that’s more like the role the RN serves. Why else do you think our carriers were designed to carry a large number of Royal Marines ? Why else do you think the USMC have already deployed onboard several times ? We simply cannot afford super carriers like the USN…..but we can do carriers far better than the USMC.
@@Bob10009 even the French carrier is far better in every way than those 2 big sitting ducks

Nice.. gmg2 brown
The Royal Navy is all show. Aircraft carriers without aircraft just sums them up. Whenever the Russians turn up the royal navy just panics and flees (outmanouvers😂) as soon as possible. Pathetic.
Financial overstretch, the RN reflects this pressure. Economic decline meets ever higher cost of its upkeep. The war in the Ukraine, has past its zenith, a political settlement, an unspoken as yet coming. A million lives lost, perhaps Russian and Ukrainian. Nato eastern expansion curtailed ? A game of thrones power tragedy. Except for arms manufacturers.
Apart from Sweden and Finland you mean?

It's our people with the tech that makes the difference.
The Germans in WW2 believed that too...
Thay are building up the navy...but having difficulty in recruiting enough to run the ships,thay might be moth balling some because of that......apparently

We, the UK, love our colonial cousins
I think all allies should be exercising their weaknesses within the military as a collective group. To expose nato short coming. Against all military adversary
Just watched More rhetorical propaganda
I know the United States fleets are extremely equipped since WW2 defeating the bigger Japanese ships and guns our new Naval ships are equipped with great sensors radar and our new Subs coming out in the next few years replacing the Ohio class will make the US Navy the world's best. as you can see pit aircraft carriers are larger then the British ones. I know the Chinese have extremely large carriers and are spending money following our Worlds hold. I'm not worried about Russia om more worried about China but with France Norway GB US and Japan I believe we hsve the upper hands against China and Russia ots known that China doesn't even help out Russia in Maritine issues as Ukraine basically yore apart their black sea fleet. Fance just rebuilt their old Carrier too.
