  • House of Commons Select Committee on Defence the Navy's Purpose and Procurement Over the Next 20 Years Comments and Suggestion
    House of Commons Select Committee on Defence The Navy’s purpose and procurement over the next 20 years Comments and suggestions from Chris Cope, Political Correspondent from 1992 to the magazine Warship World Dated 25th May 2021 1 House of Commons Select Committee on Defence The Navy’s purpose of procurement over the next 20 years Summary of comments and suggestions from Chris Cope The threat The threat exists today and can only deteriorate during the next ten years. Action needs to be taken now and not in the 2030s. Little if any thought has been given as to the impact of Scottish independence. If a Scottish government took over Faslane and ordered out all the Navy’s submarines, they would have nowhere else to go. With regard to constructing the Type 26, 31 and 32 frigates, there are no comparable facilities in England and Wales for building these ships. Carrier Strike Group It is a matter of concern that the Navy will be losing (until early December 2021) two of the four operational Type 45 destroyers and two of the six operational Type 23 frigates. Prince of Wales It is by no means clear what the government plans as the role for the second carrier. The First Sea Lord envisaged that, in due course, two squadrons of F-35Bs would be operating from both carriers. Is this now government policy and if so, when will this take place? Annual running costs In 2017, the MoD estimated that these would be costing the budget £178m per annum per ship. If now both carriers are to be operated simultaneously, this will place an additional burden on the defence budget.

  • The National Shipbuilding Strategy: January 2018 by Louisa Brooke-Holland Update
    BRIEFING PAPER Number, 9 January 2018 The National Shipbuilding Strategy: January 2018 By Louisa Brooke-Holland update Summary The Government published a National Shipbuilding Strategy in September 2017, fulfilling a commitment made in the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review. The Strategy completely overhauls how the Royal Navy will procure and build its new fleet of general purpose frigates. The Government has already committed to a fleet of eight Type 26 frigates, the first of which will enter service in the mid-2020s. The Shipbuilding Strategy focuses more on the five cheaper frigates, the Type 31e. The Government remains committed to building Navy warships in the UK but the design and build will be open to competition rather than via a non-competitive single source contract with BAE Systems. Exportability will be built into the design of the new Type 31e frigate fleet, to counter the Navy’s poor record in exporting new ships. Lastly, the strategy sets out an aggressive timetable with the main contract to be placed in early 2019 and an in-service date of 2023 for the first in class for the Type 31e. The Royal Navy is in the midst of a major programme to replace and renew its surface warships. Six new destroyers (Type 45) entered service in the first half of this decade and the first of two new aircraft carriers, HMS Queen Elizabeth, was formally commissioned into the fleet in December 2017. The focus now is on the Navy’s frigate fleet and that is the subject of the National Shipbuilding Strategy.

  • The Next Dreadnought Revolution
    THE NEXT DREADNOUGHT REVOLUTION BY DAVID MURRIN 15TH MARCH 2021 WWW.DAVIDMURRIN.CO.UK PART 1: CURRENT DESIGN TRENDS AND LIMITATIONS THE NEXT DREADNOUGHT REVOLUTION THE NEXT DREADNOUGHT REVOLUTION HISTORY DECODED TO INFORM THE FUTURE PART 1: CURRENT DESIGN TRENDS AND LIMITATIONS BY ANALYSING PAST PATTERNS WE CAN PREDICT FORTHCOMING EVENTS AND TRENDS 1.0 TIME FOR A NEW DREADNOUGHT-TYPE INNOVATION IN WARSHIP DESIGN In a time when battleships usually took several years to build, the construction and launch in 1906 of HMS Dreadnought in less than 12 months was a demonstration of British military intention and industrial might. But most critically, her all big gun design and steam turbines made every ship built before that point obsolete. The geostrategic consequences were enormous as it gave Germany a window to attempt to challenge for control of the world’s oceans and accelerated the British-German naval arms’ race to astronomical levels. Today we are witnessing a new and fourth great industrial arms’ race, catalysed by China’s hegemonic ambitions as it seeks to outbuild America and its allies to create a blue-water navy that can dominate the world’s oceans. In this similar environment, perhaps it is time to consider the emergence of a new class of Dreadnought destroyers, which I have named Dominators, that can control large areas of ocean both below and above it. 1.1 DEDICATED MISSION DESTROYERS AND FRIGATES This ship design concept of dedicated mission escorts is favoured by all European navies and the Royal Navy is an excellent specific example of using this concept in its escort fleet.

  • All-Party Parliamentary Group Shipbuilding and Ship Repair
    1 Inquiry into the National Shipbuilding Strategy APPG Foreword As an island nation, the United Kingdom’s security and prosperity has long been associated with the seas. With the UK preparing to leave the European Union, our country’s maritime dependence is more apparent than ever and uncertainty about the UK’s sovereign capability to produce warships remains. The National Shipbuilding Strategy outlined the Government’s aspirations to reform naval procurement by reintroducing greater competition into UK shipbuilding. UK shipbuilding is primarily driven by military sources of demand and long-term national security considerations. Following its inquiry, this APPG recognises the political case for retaining the UK’s sovereign capability to produce warships. We further recognise that the UK’s position as a producer of world-class warships should be understood more widely. UK Shipbuilding has evolved from the smokestack and panel-beating industry it once was. It is now at the very forefront of innovative technologies and capabilities, as can be observed by the export success of the Type 26 frigate. However, the current ‘feast or famine’ nature of military demand threatens our ability to maintain the sovereign capability to produce warships. The National Shipbuilding Strategy significantly reduces the scope of ships that the UK is qualified to build and threatens the long-term viability of our fragile shipyards. Its approach to naval procurement is not novel. Its concepts have been tried, tested and have failed before. The very shape of today’s UK shipbuilding industry is a result of rationalisation, following a period of policies urging shipbuilders to compete with each other and yards going bust.

  • Half Year Results Transcript for Six Months Ended 30 September 2019
    Half year results transcript for six months ended 30 September 2019 Wednesday 20 November 2019 Archie Bethel Chief Executive Officer Okay, good morning. Thank you for joining us today. Earlier this morning we reported on the six months to 30 September, 2019. I'd like to use this short presentation to add a bit of colour to the numbers and to talk about how the progress underpinning these results is creating a solid base for us to build on over the next few years. We'll take questions as usual at the end of the presentation. Our chair, Ruth Cairnie, is also here this morning. She will stay around for a short while after the presentation and will be happy to talk with some of you at that point. Let me begin by summarising the first half of the year. As you can see from our statement this morning we've done what we said we would do. So I can confirm our guidance for the full year is unchanged. We've delivered the first half in line with expectations with a strong performance from marine and land and in-line performance from nuclear offsetting some weaknesses in aviation. With £2.5 billion of contract wins in the first half of the year we are moving the business forward. We are making real progress in delivering the medium term strategy we took you through earlier this year. Our combined order book and pipeline now stands at a record £34 billion. That's almost 10% higher than it was six months ago.
