£200m into new ship of state : The PM approves
[A new national flagship, the successor to
the Royal Yacht Britannia, will promote British trade and industry around the world, Boris Johnson has said. The vessel would be used to host trade fairs, ministerial summits and diplomatic talks as the UK seeks to build links and boost exports following Brexit. It would be the first national flagship since Britannia, which was decommissioned in 1997, but the new vessel would be a ship rather than a luxury yacht.] [A name for the vessel has not been announced, but Johnson has faced pressure from campaigners and Tory MPs to name it after the Duke of Edinburgh, who played a role in designing Britannia. The government intends to build the ship in the UK, at a reported cost of up to £200m. Johnson said: “This new national flagship will be the first vessel of its kind in the world, reflecting the UK’s burgeoning status as a great, independent maritime trading nation.”] https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...-ship-of-state So long as it's not Sunk in a mini war. |
