HMS Northumberland, the frigate that has been guarding the Falklands, will be replaced by the fleet auxiliary ships RFA Largs Bay instead of another warship because the hopelessly shrunken Royal Navy is too overstretched to meet its commitments.In saner times, this would be a shot across Whitehall's bows that no one would dare ignore. Either increase defence spending dramatically or Britain is going to face a humiliation that it hasn't seen since Dunkirk.
Update: At least some men of integrity are taking this seriously.
