UK to get at least 25 new warships thanks to defence spending rise - Shapps
Tuesday, 14 May 2024 The Royal Navy will get 25 new warships - and could get three more - as the government indicates where its planned rise in defence spending will go.
A Royal Navy destroyer has been tracking Russian vessels in the English Channel that are suspected of supplying munitions to Syria. Commander David Armstrong, Captain of HMS Iron Duke, says that although the ships do not pose a specific threat, "it is not enough for the UK just to hope that non-allied warships passing through our waters won't impact our national security".
