Whatever we commission, if it cannot be built in GB, then they should be built in the far east (Korea is friendly as is Japan although both now express their expertise in their rising prices) but 4 years to build what is in all effects a cargo ship? ludicrous. Don't be misled by CalMac's misfortunes.
Even then they are GB built they would be unlikely to be as well found as an HHI built vessel (for instance), not that that should steer governments away from spending only within their own borders. Mr. Heath's one right policy wimpishly instituted ('buy British tea shirts and carrier bags'), Mrs T's only wrong one.
