Britain's Future Navy - Nick Childs
What kind of Royal Navy does Britain need now? Does Britain have the right naval strategy to cope with emerging threats (does it have a naval strategy at all, and should it?) and, if so, does the Navy have the right ships and enough of them to implement it?Nick Childs looks at the changing strategic environment (including economic difficulties and the growth of other navies such as China and India). The 21st century promises to be one of huge uncertainties and challenges for the senior service.
If so, should our forces be designed purely to work with US, UN or Western European forces? He asks what Britain s role in the world could or should be is she still interventionist? What are the options for a naval strategy?
The author considers what kind of navy would be needed to support such options. What kind of ships are needed and how many? What of aircraft carriers and the nuclear option?
