The Slow De4th of the Royal Navy The Evolution of its Recruiting Ads
The Royal Navy has, according to experts, entered something called a doom loop or de4th spiral. As a combination of poor recruiting numbers has caused the government to scrap warships, leading to difficulties in recruiting more sailors, leading to more ships being scrapped, and so it goes on.
The Navy is now the smallest it has ever been. Yet, Britain has global defense commitments little changed from 20 or even 30 years ago. If you haven’t seen my latest video on the Royal Navy’s de4th spiral, check out the link in the end screen. You will be sh0cked. Some of you are probably wondering why I’ve made these Royal Navy videos.
The answer is that I care about what happens to the senior service, because like most British people, my family has had a history of naval service as well. For example, my brother is an officer in the Royal Marines Reserve, and I had a relative who served 48 years in the Royal Navy, ending up commanding officer of a naval training school, training new recruits.

One of the proudest moments of my life was when I was asked by the Royal Navy to deliver an address about a forgotten naval b4ttle in Shanghai in 1941. Standing aboard HMS Daring, moored at the same spot in Shanghai in 2013.
Listening to a Royal Marines bugler blow the last post across the famous Bund for the first time since 1945 was a truly emotional moment in commemoration of the British sailors who perished on that river 70 years before. A b4ttle I was trying to have commemorated with an official memorial. My project received the personal support of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, the then Queen’s husband, and a World W4r II naval veteran himself, as well as the staff of the British Consulate in Shanghai and
the emba.ssy in Beijing. The videos I’ve made have generated a lot of messages from serving and retired Royal Navy personnel who have told me their own experiences and shared their frustration and anger at what politicians have done to the Royal Navy. We should all be concerned, sailor and civilian alike, for the Navy is supposed to be our first line of defense for our island kingdom.
