The war of Johnson's Ego

100%. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the incident with HMS Dragon promoted reporters being invited. Although I don’t think reporters being invited onboard is particularly unusual.

Anyone paying attention knows that Boris wants Britain back as the military power house in Europe and that includes ensuring an all new and modern navy - it’s clear we are going for quality over quantity. I expect we will see plenty more of this type of demonstration of hard power.

Are you serious?

Hard power?

We're well hard, we are.

How big is the Russian Black Sea fleet?

It’s very unusual to have reporters onboard.

They were a pain in the arse on the way down to the Falklands getting in the way for weeks before disappearing in a cloud of dust for the relative comfort of the Upland Goose.

A minor incident, wait until the Carrier Strike Group goes through disputed waters in the South China sea in a few months.

It’ll have broken down well before it gets anywhere near that sea……

I bet no where near as big or powerful as you think it is.

The Chinese will be terrified of the 10 Gloster Gladiators based on the carrier...............

F35's. You know what though, I think close to a 3rd of the crew on HMS Queen Elizabeth are American. Diplomatic incident incoming.
