Pleased they are being built in this country and creating jobs.

 

We might need more navel ships in the future for escorting British tankers  that have to enter Iranian waters.

Plus BoatyMcBoatface is coming along nicely. If ever you're over Liverpool way, head over the river to Birkenhead Priory for great views onto the shipyards:

I really wish they hadn't cut it up though, the U505 at Chicago looks far more impressive:

Wow, that Chicago website looks much more attractive!

 

Why did they cut up the one at Woodside? Haven't been or heard of it before.
