#6  You know times are hard on the Royal Navy when even Brit Medias are belabeling RN cuts as turning the fleet into a LITTORAL/COAST DEFENSE FORCE = COAST GUARD. This means that the RN will be hard-pressed to protect maritime Atlantic trade = military convoys, or even commercial air services. Its an opportunity for other Euros, espec FRANCE, iff they can overcome their inherent Euro-centric Continentalism. AYSMMETRIC WARFARE > means. among other thingys, that Amer's enemies know they will be fighting Amer-Allies from detrimental disadvantages vv USA, etal. ERGO IT HELPS THEM TO HAVE "GENERAL MUD/WINTER" + NATURAL TERRAIN + TECH "SUFFICIENCIES/ROUGH PARITY", etc. ON THEIR SIDE.

#5  Given the recent sterling performance of the Royal Navy, this could be Cod War Part Two. Better stock up on the fish for chips boys, this one may be rough.
