Should the situation in Iran....
 
Be a warning for us to rebuild our navy which has been depleted by successive governments?

I know we are part of Nato and work as a combined force but we should still have the capacity to engage in multiple theatres of war simultaneously.

We do have two new aircraft carriers but if war with Iran became a reality and they ended up deployed to the region then hypothetically another nation could take advantage,Say a Falklands 2.0 situation.We should imo be committing more than 2% of GDP into our military in these tense times.
We don’t want to be caught out.

yes, i think our navy is much too small now. I remember during the falklands that even then we really didnt have enough capacity and we had much more then. As I recall we had to compulsory take lots af civil ships, including the QE2 to augment the fleet. Now, we just couldnt deal with another falklands type event

Yes. We should be building up all our armed services after they were stripped to the bone.
