Lewis Page writing in 2006: "Destroyers are the most technically difficult, most expensive possible way one can imagine of defending against air attack. The lesson of the Falklands was not that we need better destroyers; it was that destroyers don't work..." Mr Page writing in…

@Malrahabi6 Fact Check - HMS Diamond is currently in the Red Sea and shot down a missile yesterday
@NavyLookout So he has no idea what ACTUALLY happened in 1982 because he’s utterly ignorant.
@NavyLookout Destroyers DO work. Not sure what he was basing his assumption on..
@NavyLookout In 1982 the T42s had only 2 channels of fire, many had obsolete bedsted radars, missiles unable to engage low level targets and no CIWS. The lesson WAS that all that needed improving and it was learned - witness the capability of today's T45s. Page was simply wrong.
@NavyLookout The lesson we all re-learned in the Falklands was that AEW is vital. With the response time and serviceability of the SHARS, with early warning I doubt we’d have lost a ship. Certainly fewer than we did.
@NavyLookout @Telegraph Lewis Page: "‘A willing foe, and sea room’ – all the Service ever needs." Oh, and ships. Lots of ships... telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/2…
The move to withdraw the conventional submarines meant that after decades of operation, the Royal Navy told the Australian, Canadian and Dutch navies that it could no longer train their submarine CO's. Was this the biggest self-inflicted wound in postcold war history by the RN?
@NavyLookout An awesome ship and real value for money. Enjoyed working with her and her people, often far from the UK.
Difficult decisions are often required but it’s vital these are informed by a culture that values uncomfortable truths. The one thing worse than a painful situation is not recognising reality. Hope is only temporarily comfortable.
Leach was 100% right then and was rapidly vindicated by subsequent events. Most of his arguments are just as valid today.
@NavyLookout Lewis is exactly the right person to comment. Famously following PWO course he was AAWO on a Destroyer on operations. *checks notes* Ex Muppet - single domain warfare at 2 knots 😬
@NavyLookout @COM_SNMG1 @HMSPortland @RFATidesurge Best exercise name ever
@NavyLookout You say that as if anyone expects journalists (and I use that word loosely in this case) expect to be held accountable for what they write :)
Former members of the @RoyalNavy search and rescue 771 NAS welcomed one of their own to Culdrose – a visit by former aircrewman & SAR diver David ‘Nick’ Carter. He served at Culdrose in the 70s and early 80s, is a Falkland’s veteran & took part in the 1979 Fastnet Race disaster
@NavyLookout @RAdmSAsquith Can Windows for Submarines(tm) run LinkedIn?
Not sure what a naming ceremony is? Learn more about this tradition from SDA Director Submarine Acquisition Cdre Martyn Boyes. #FactFriday #RoyalNavy #Navytradition
@BuckDanny10 @NavyLookout From RN website. "Sea Viper – the name covers the entire weapons system, including two radars, the command system and the Aster missile which is Viper’s ‘bite’". Sea Viper uses Aster missiles but includes the whole system, including SAMPSON radar not used by France and Italy.
@BuckDanny10 @Anonymi50030966 @NavyLookout It doesn’t say, and no one has, that it’s the first time an aster missile intercepting a ballistic threat… it’s the first time this specific system has, which is very different.
