"Up The Navy" - the Royal Navy has a long and illustrious history. Unfortunately, it has been a casualty of the UK Defence cuts. Its capabilities will be seriously curtailed with the reduction of ships and sailors. Engagements in future hostilities start with continuous training and having an effective naval force during peacetime. May this be drummed into the heads of the powers that be.
In a couple of weeks, I will be building the Lusty in 1/350 scale.HMS Illustrious in Liverpool.
HMS Illustrious arrived in Liverpool today, Thursday 14th February 2013. The ship will be alongside for 5 days for a routine visit. It is a welcome opportunity for Lusty and her ships company to experience an enjoyable UK run ashore away from her baseport of Portsmouth.
I'll have Harriers operating off of her though as if though the UK had been sane and kept a few around until the QE and her JSFs were ready. Heck, if they had kept a few around, the QE would have had aircraft to fly off of her when she is first commissioned, which she will not have now until the JSF is ready.

- [h=2]HMAS Choules sails round the point of Garden Island[/h] HMAS Choules has returned to sea following sea assurance testing of the ships six propulsion and power distribution transformers which were replaced following the identification of a defect in June 2012. In a graduated approach to her return to sea, HMAS Choules commenced testing in Sydney Harbour before she proceeds to the east coast of Australia. The Navy's Amphibious force includes a number of layers of capability including Choules, the landing ship heavy HMAS Tobruk, Australian Defence Vessel Ocean Shield, and three Landing Craft Heavy. The first Landing Helicopter Dock, recently named NUSHIP Canberra in a ceremony in Melbourne on the 15th February 2013, is due to achieve initial operating capability in 2014

[FONT=&]One of the SRS Troop Commanders Captain Matt Hills said:[/FONT]
[FONT=&]“As the lead element of the landing force we need to insert, covertly, by a number of different methods including boat, vehicle and parachute.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]“It is vital we maintain our parachute capability in order to be as flexible as possible across a broad range of potential reconnaissance tasks.”[/FONT]

[h=2]British and French attack helicopters build strong partnership[/h]
Apaches from the Army Air Corps and Gazelles from the French Army have forged an operational partnership during demanding training on Exercise Joint Warrior in the West Freugh area of Scotland.
The helicopters were taking part in joint training to prepare 16 Air Assault Brigade and the 11th Parachute Brigade, the British and French Army’s rapid reaction forces, respectively, to be able to deploy side-by-side on contingency operations ranging from disaster relief to war-fighting.
Two missions tested the ability of the attack helicopters to work together. Under British command, Apaches and Gazelles escorted helicopters carrying troops from 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment. The attack helicopters then hit targets on the ground with cannon and missiles to clear the way for the infantry to assault a position.
