The Telegraph: Events in Syria have made the latest Defence cuts look particularly short-sighted
The Royal Navy has recently retired HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark, its two Landing Platform Docks, just before a critical moment in Syria. This decision raises concerns about the navy's capability to conduct amphibious operations and respond to crises, especially when new replacements are not yet available.
The history of previous decommissioning decisions, like that of HMS Ark Royal before military operations in Libya, highlights the risks of reducing naval capacity without adequate replacements. The lack of balance and mass in naval capabilities could hinder effective responses in future conflicts.
