flag UK Navy at weakest in 60 years, with limited ships and slow response to threats.

flag The Royal Navy is in its worst state in 60 years, with Lord West of Spithead warning it fails to meet defense needs due to underfunding, a small fleet, and poor maintenance. flag Key vessels, including both aircraft carriers and most destroyers, are undergoing repairs, limiting operations. flag Only one nuclear submarine, HMS Anson, is available and deployed in Australia. flag The UK has deployed HMS Dragon to Cyprus amid rising Iranian threats, but its response has been slower than France’s deployment of its nuclear carrier and forces. flag Officials say defensive capabilities are being strengthened, but concerns remain over readiness and long-term naval capacity.
