Don’t decommission HMS Westminster, Argyll, Bulwark & Albion and more RN funding
Media reports have said that these vessels may be axed from active service. We believe this must not happen and they should be maintained until there are sufficient replacements. It is also important that appropriate funds and personnel are allocated and maintained for the Royal Navy's (RN) upkeep.
The government must adequately fund and maintain its commitment to defence and the UK's interests abroad. We believe that decommissioning and mothballing of four of the RN's vessels would diminish the UK’s ability to fulfil its commitments abroad and to maintain peace and order in the face of global tensions. We consider it is of paramount importance that the RN is well-funded and recruitment issues are addressed.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
