#News HMS Dragon to begin defending Cyprus: Britain’s Type 45 destroyer HMS Dragon has arrived in the eastern Mediterranean to help defend Cyprus after RAF Akrotiri was targeted by an Iranian-made drone.#Defence #Defense #Military #Cyprus #Britain #UK #RAFAkrotiri #HMSDragon #Type45Destroyer #Iran…
Kuenssberg asking the wrong question about #HMSDragon - issue is *why* are we in a state that the only ship available had to be pulled out of a six week refit in six days?

YouTube keeps recommending videos about #HMSDragon and the ongoing naval angst in the UK. So I mocked up this infographic on how much bigger would today's #RoyalNavy have to be to maintain a global presence. Still a RN smaller than the JMSDF. 😄

#RoryStewart & war criminal #AlistairCampbell had a play-fight in #TheRestIsPolitics, blaming each other for the the UK's 1-ship navy comedy. The so-called "#RoyalNavy" has only ship to send to the #Mediterranean, the #destroyer #HMSDragon.

With a lot of attention on HMS Dragon, here’s a throwback to January 2022 when she arrived on Loch Long in Argyll Scotland
#Scotland #StormHour #HMSDragon
“HMS Dragon had to be hauled out of dry dock”
“Only 2 out of 5 other destroyers were considered available”
Shocking to read & hard to believe our #RoyalNavy has come to this
Is it this bad @navylookout.bsky.social

Dragon heads out from Portsmouth to take up air defence duties in the Eastern Mediterranean #HMSDragon #PortsmouthHarbour #Type45Destroyer #RoyalNavy
Watching #HMSDragon leave #PortsmouthHarbour for the Eastern Mediterranean has just evoked a visceral memory from when I was 4 years old and the #HMSHermes left #Portsmouth for #TheFalklands with my Dad on board.

The UK continues to delude itself that it has the resources and equipment to be a great military power. It's a fantasy.
In 2009, the UK's #MOD told the #DefenceSelectCommittee that it could sustain readiness of at least 4 #Type45 #destroyers and usually 5 […]

Margaret Thatcher & Admiral Sir Henry Leach dispatched a whole task force to the Falklands more quickly than Keir Starmer’s sent ONE destroyer to protect Cyprus 😱🤦♂️

Anna Foster: “You haven’t given details on #HMSDragon. I assume that’s because you don’t know”
Could it also be because such details are classified in times of heightened tensions?
Will Foster, Robinson, Rajan … be among the next wave of arrests for providing info useful to an enemy?
