British Navy will not write off two landing ships

The military of this country was unhappy with the decision on the possible early withdrawal from service of the British Navy of the universal amphibious assault ships HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark. Many of them believed that this would weaken the combat capabilities of the British Armed Forces. therefore news the fact that the Royal Navy still will not write off these two landing ships was received positively.

This is reported by the British Internet portal UK Defense Journal.

The decision to return the ships to service was enthusiastically adopted as in the Royal navyand the British Marines, which nearly lost their most efficient delivery vehicle. They were glad that the "death of the British landing" was postponed at least until the 30s.

From the early 2010s to the present, these two Albion-class UDCs have been in reserve, awaiting disposal. But the need for their return to service was shown by the experience of the participation of the British Armed Forces in hostilities in Afghanistan and Iraq. Therefore, for them there were tasks provided for by the new defense concept "Global Britain" approved by London.

Now, the Royal Navy will have five UDCs capable of delivering marines over long distances from the British Isles. Albion-class landing ships are capable of carrying on board up to 710 Marines, up to four landing craft, up to 67 armored vehicles and two Chinook HC2 helicopters.

They will leave, they will not leave, pof .... the cat's former power has been tattered. Now they creep under anyone and only so.

[Mini Mokik]

There are no British left in the UK, Negroes, Indians, Pakistanis, Poles and pro-Balts.

[The black]

And after that, they will also steam them to Ukraine.

[TermNachTer]

No, well, why - in brothels, for gay people, there are still left)))

They will sell to the horses, for this they leave ...

[rocket757]

No, there is such content, it will fly into such babosiks !!! It’s the same if we had a Mistral ... all imports! Skakuas will kill that in a season.

[cniza]

They will include everything in the price and give it back on credit ...

[rocket757]

They will squander, take away consumables, and so on ... and on local substitutes, the English equipment will not last long.

[Vlad5307]

On the Mistrals, the filling was all ours, only iron and it was dismantled after the refusal to sell. For which the francs, according to the terms of the contract, also paid extra. Having bowed under the FSA, they got a hole in the finances of this company and were forced to sell it to others in order to patch it up, and the shipyard was idle for several months.

[rocket757]

So, in fact, more than 90% of the time, consumables, other maintenance costs would fall on the equipment of a foreign manufacturer .... a special "kick" would come when the manufacturer refused to supply consumables, spare parts, etc.

[Vlad5307]

Ours bought them not only for their intended use, but also to gain technological experience in building such ships. For this, there was a group of specialists at the shipyard to track the work being carried out and receive the work performed, by signing intermediate acts. Yes, there were losses, but there were also gains. Our hand-wu should have been quicker to attend to the production of our own UDCs, and not to stumble on the choice of options - time is more expensive than the wishes of some admirals.

[rocket757]

Plans, plans. Some are being realized, others are buried forever. This is ce la vie.

[antivirus]

silently envy someone else's happiness - ukriytsy are happy, we are not .... we will be after 30g.
without humor - this is a good example of priorities - not all at once, even for the mistress of the seas, gets up and stands ... to the question "Shoigu, build 10 AV for 100 VI"

[Thrifty]

Tomorrow they will change their minds again, due to insufficient funding, they will leave them in reserve, they will still decide to write off and dispose of, then they will change their minds again. ...

Well, where are they to us, do not remind, how many UDCs the Russian Navy has?

[rocket757]

So about our "sore corn" was not written only by the lazy ... which will be repeated. Why and how, this was also discussed ...

So yes Victor! But no matter how they landed, where the "Nord Stream" on the coastal zone will begin to be mounted .. Anglo-Saxons are vomiting farts, just like their satellites in Kiev ..
They threaten Germany, and Russia too .. Where else can they land?

[rocket757]

Nobody crawls into direct conflict.
Of course, everything happens for the first time, I hope this will not happen.

[Freedim]

Xoxlam will be sold .. do not go to the fortuneteller.

[Mini Mokik]

Nah, they will be parachuted into the Belarusian Sea.

[donavi49]

It makes no sense. Seriously though, now negotiations are underway on the Estonian scheme for minesweepers. 2-3 ships. The British will write off just 2 pieces soon (buildings of the late 90s) - cheap sale, expensive repairs and modernization (well, how expensive, Estonians seem to have met 50 Euros for all three).

[Avior]

Renovation and modernization cost 30 million euros
Modernization is inexpensive, taking into account the fact that almost completely the electronics have been changed to modern

The modernization is carried out under a contract worth about 30 million euros (35 million dollars) ... The modernization package includes the supply of new navigation systems, sonar systems "Type 2193" (replacing SONAR 2093), combat command and control systems M-CUBE (will replace NAUTIS 3). The project also includes the establishment of a mine action information center and Thales assistance in training specialists for its operation.

Good minesweepers. The British have a large fiberglass non-magnetic hull, mine detecting GAS, electric propulsion and search submersibles for minesweepers of the late 80s ...

[Holuay T.O]

The Britons have very high quality Marines, better than in the USA, but there are few of them, only one brigade

[TermNachTer]

What is it good for? the fact that little and inexpensive cost to the state budget?))))

[Holuay T.O]

Training and combat training, and most importantly, mobility

Termi NahTer (Nikolai) I wanted to say that the amphibious assault forces of the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines lack a Polish-built large landing ship of the 70s ...

[TermNachTer]

I wanted to say that the British MP has long been turned into a courtyard - front, for parades in front of Buckingham Palace. The presence or absence of BDK - does not matter)))

Since when?

The presence or absence of BDK - does not matter)))

Back in the 90s, they sent their Tank landing ships (analogue of our BDK) to the scrap ...

[TermNachTer]

What are you, Lara, corrosive))) BDK (UDC), you can call it whatever you like, the point is that the last real war in which the British MP participated was in 1982. Everything else - "show-off for visitors"))))

[Lara Croft]

Not at all. It is only in a neuropsychiatric hospital that BDK (TDK) and UDC can be synonyms ... and equal in purpose and scope of tasks to be solved ...

Everything else - "show-off for visitors"))))

You do not read the periodicals of the last 30 years, two military operations in Iraq with the participation of the 3rd Brigade of the MP did not take into account ... or did our MP participate in similar operations?

[TermNachTer]

Well, of course, in Iraq, the British MP captured Baghdad, Basra and Mosul with one blow?))) I have not forgotten anything?))), Taking into account the qualitative and quantitative advantage the coalition had over Iraq. It is not even funny to cite this operation as an example, if you please - this is a war of different centuries.

it is a war of different centuries.

Is this the fault of the Royal Marines of Great Britain? You are just mischievous ....

[TermNachTer]

I am not mischievous, I say that the comparison is not correct. In that war, the MP of Zimbabwe or Paraguay could have been used - the result would have been the same.

[knn54]

Seek to take on the role of a "backup" leader.

[Irek]

They will not write off, the best in 404 will be sold, at the price of a new one.

The author of these ships of the UDC has never been (visually, even a schoolchild can distinguish, the UDC has a through deck) ...

Albion-class amphibious assault ships are amphibious assault ships in service with the British Navy. The type consists of two ships, HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark, ordered in 1996 to replace the obsolete Fearless ships. Both ships were built by BAE Systems Marine at Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering in Barrow-in-Furness. HMS Albion entered service in 2003 and HMS Bulwark in 2004. The crew of the Albion-class ships consists of 325 people and can accommodate up to 405 more people. It can carry on board thirty-one large and thirty-six small transports, capable of landing the Challenger 2 main battle tank. Also on board the ships are eight landing craft for the landing of troops.

And you know that the British got their troughs in the 80s to the Romanians, and without rocket weapons. Rockets are not a toy for children, otherwise they will start the third world war.

No, I don’t know, thanks for the information, probably a kind forum member .... the British should be given a diploma in the field of junk trade ..... although maybe they donated them for nothing as part of military aid ...

Well, yes, they will gather Khokhlofashiks, Baltofashiks and Poles-Baltonatsiks with Turkish citizens and the Crimea will go to fight again!
