From The HIll newspaper,
UK warship to set sail for Cyprus base in ‘next couple of days’
With just a little bit of luck, by the time it arrives, it will be too late to do any good. The Hill reports, via the U.K. Independent, about separate efforts to deploy an aircraft carrier,
The Ministry of Defense first announced the ship’s deployment last week. But the aircraft carrier has been delayed because of issues on the base itself. Healey said crews have worked 22 hours a day to prepare it for deployment, The Independent reported.
22 hours a day? Is that how daylight savings works in the U.K.? And it would get worse,
There was also speculation that a second aircraft carrier, the HMS Prince of Wales, was being readied for potential deployment to the Middle East.
The Financial Times reported Monday that these plans were scrapped after President Trump said he rejected an offer from U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer to send the two ships to the Middle East.
Don’t bother.
The captain said it will never, never do,
Never, never do,
Never, never do.
