Whilst I agree the Korean RFAs are something of an embarrassment (although I am very sure they will be just as good builds as if done in GB) however in terms of volume not enough to keep a significant fraction of one building facility in full time employment. I am for mandating government should spend at home first (any premium in cost remaining in national circulation) however such a command economy would have to mandate closure of all but one or two facilities at the same time. Trade prohibits support of building British Merchant bottoms so unless we are to raise and maintain another Grand Fleet where would come greater demand?
