I hope you’ll discuss how the UK can recover from what appears to be a whole nation sailing directly into Charybdis. How will it fund rebuilding its navy and find the sailor to crew its ships given it other commitments.
A geopolitics hobbyist from Germany here, I am very interested in the future of this Substack. The Royal Navy and British Naval Power has been a key part of European and Global History. Sadly it isn’t quite what it once was/should be when looking at all the threats Europe is facing again.
I will look forward to reading. I’m not much of a sailor IRL (the worst night’s sleep I’ve ever had was on board HMS Chatham in the Gulf) but we are a seafaring nation, after all; though I am prone to quote Admiral Beatty at times and mutter “There seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships today”.

Maritime choke points, (Suez, Panama, etc.)
How can we defend them with the rise of UAV, UMV that allow low cost/high effects attacks?
