I don't understand (successive) Government policy on shipyard subsidies either Ron, undoubtedly the blame resides partly with them. According to the Save the Royal Navy website:
"Government is very reluctant to offer aid or intervention in failing industries that cannot be all be propped up indefinitely - but if nothing is done there will be further decreasing options when building ships in the future"
Who knows what it will take before they are forced to step in and save what is left of this once great industry?
