They've chosen Dhimmitude, hang 'em all.
(That way, at least they won't be beheaded...)
NO cheers, unfortunately.
Royal Navy Warship Strength
The Royal Navy, still the largest in the world in September 1939, included:
15 Battleships & battlecruisers, of which only two were post-World War I. Five ‘King George V’ class battleships were building.
7 Aircraft carriers. One was new and five of the planned six fleet carriers were under construction. There were no escort carriers.
66 Cruisers, mainly post-World War I with some older ships converted for AA duties. Including cruiser-minelayers, 23 new ones had been laid down.
184 Destroyers of all types. Over half were modern, with 15 of the old ‘V’ and ‘W’ classes modified as escorts. Under construction or on order were 32 fleet destroyers and 20 escort types of the ‘Hunt’ class.
60 Submarines, mainly modern with nine building.
45 escort and patrol vessels with nine building, and the first 56 ‘Flower’ class corvettes on order to add to the converted ‘V’ and ‘W’s’ and ‘Hunts’. However, there were few fast, long-endurance convoy escorts.
>>The humiliation comes exactly 205 years to the day after Nelson’s fleet saw off Napoleon at Trafalgar.

Looks like Napoleon got the last laugh.
Now you know what the true meaning of the word “ NIMROD” is. A DUMB LOSER!
The Brits need to axe the Nimrods in their government, not the Nimrods in the RAF hangars.
Notice that they are cutting the HARRIER vertical lift jet fighter/bomber. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.
Great plane for landing on a short landing strip, in the desert (hint, hint, Afghanistan and Iraq), carriers good firepower, etc.
WE NEED THE HARRIER.
The social contract of paying useless bureaucrats for life and giving every brainwashed Socialist C-quality healthcare while letting Muslims overrun their nation is what it is...the cause for CHANGE.
What’s coming isn’t pretty, and too bad I’m not 20 anymore.
Their “finest hour’ was a long time ago.
....laugh....
No such plane.
The enemy already resides on the island. Their allies have or will pass through Heath row, passports stamped, before any recognition that the assault has started.
Means nothing today, we will sit the next European war out. Relying on the French, who can not even control their teenage anarchists, is laughable at best.
So anybody up for conquering Britain next weekend? We'll grab a few brewskis, head across the pond and negotiate thir surrender. After that we can have a BBQ.
