Royal Navy to lose missiles and be left only with guns

The Royal Navy will be left without anti-ship missiles and warships will be forced to rely on naval guns because of cost-cutting, the Ministry of Defence has admitted.

The Navy’s Harpoon missiles will retire from the fleet’s frigates and destroyers in 2018 without a replacement, while there will be no helicopter-launched anti-shipping missiles for two years.

Naval sources said the decision was “like Nelson deciding to get rid of his cannons and go back to muskets”.
