    The RN haven't had MTBs since the 1950s.

    We could probably get the DSME (South Korea) to build some for us, paying for it by borrowing money off the Chinese.

    The River Class might be suitable as a larger alternative, but we currently have 3 of them in service.

    The Scimitar class or Archer class might be able to take a weapon or two.

    Britannia doesn't "rule the waves" and hasn't for a long time.

    Some of these people seem to be permanently stuck in an infantile state of when they were 9, reading "Commando" comics, waiting for nanny to tuck them into bed with some cocoa.
    This infantilism seems to span the classes, too, and explains Brexit.
