How the Royal Navy Is Rethinking Fleet Power
Really interesting analysis! Thanks!
I didn’t realise they reloaded the 4.5” gun by hand, like in WW2.
The gun itself is semi-automatica from a feed ring of 12 rounds, this crew are feeding the ring from the magazine.
The fact that the RN doesn’t have a ship at readiness for such a contingency is so revealing. The navy that once ruled the seas and is still looked up to because of its historical legacy. A naval anchor of NATO is MIA.
