Aaaah yes, those must’ve been excellent times. It’s absolutely ridiculous that it will actually take them seven years to complete a total of three ships, even if it is apparently just one shipyard. We really need to be opening up other ones to increase the speed. Three ships in four years seems more reasonable. In seven years, any war that we might be involved in, which is sure to happen now, would’ve come and gone. Technology has changed and manufacturing house as well. These companies need to be shown that they can actually complete within reasonable deadlines that match the demands of the 21st-century. Not just one is that allow them to lie on their backs in the most comfortable way possible.

Actually, they just said here, clearly that £77 million additional will be invested in renewing and updating the shipyards around the UK so this should be happening. Plus work is currently going to doing this anyway.

Exactly. I mean, that does indeed mean that it will take seven years to have all three of them done, but we’ve definitely got to hope that the first one will at least be completed within about two years. Honestly that feels quite reasonable, but they really should be working to build more than one at once, seven years is just ridiculous. By then a war could’ve come and gone. Within that time he single yard should be working towards completing seven ships, not three.
