Yeah, UK navy is a complete mess and the rest of the military isn’t doing much better. UK has a recruitment crisis and whatever industrial production remained is collapsing. It’s kind of funny that UK is doing some of the biggest sabre rattling in Europe given all this.
Their current leaders, like those in Germany, aren’t happy that they’ve not yet given away all their sovereignty to the US. The sooner they can start a war and give a reason for the US to double it’s forces in these countries, the better. That way, the yanks will be prepared to gun down the protestors when the riots start.
There’s also a secondary (or more like- primary) motive, shared from across the US to all the other petty imperial cores- this is some of the best war spending (ie. corporate welfare at the peoples’ expense) they’ve had in a fair while. If it were just about empire, self-preservation would kick in, but the one thing they all consistently are, moreso than imperialist, is short-sightedly greedy and corrupt. All these parties are helping themselves to some of the biggest public thefts in history while pretending there’s even a single patriotic or humanistic bone in their bodies combined.
For sure, war industry has become a clever racket for siphoning taxes out of the system and putting them back in the hands of the oligarchs. They scare people with whatever threat de jour they can come up with, and then use it to justify austerity because we need more military spending or the baddies will get us.
They should ask Polish navy for admiral, we have more of them than ships, and that especially include submarines, because Poland recently lost all of them, of 5, 4 rotten to the point they are unable to leave port and last one (Kilo class which makes it the most battleworthy ship in entire Polish navy) had a heavy fire during the repairs and it’s not a big secret it’s unoperable and probably will never be again.
Royal Navy is currently probably the weakest it (comparably) was in the last 500 years. Those carriers were colossal mistakes.

Pretty much, they’re imperial administrators as opposed to actual leaders. They just want to follow orders and do what the empire tells them to.

One of the carriers is still up on proverbial cinder blocks because it was stripped for parts for the other carrier right?
Also they’re trying to recruit an admiral for the submarine force on linked in.
Deeply unserious military.
