Prince Charles and the Royal Navy's Next Generation

Hundreds of Royal Navy officer cadets have passed out from Britannia Royal Naval College in front of the Prince of Wales.
Prince Charles, who himself served in the Royal Navy, was present in Dartmouth as cadets commissioned into the service.

    Hi Royal Navy, please increase your fleet of destroyers and frigates. The number now is almost laughable with only six destroyers to escort two aircraft carriers and then what is left for other missions ?

    Well done to all these young men and woman who now embark on a fantastic career in the Royal Navy! The best navy ever to sail the seas. And well done to prince Charles , in fairness to him he did his bit and from what I read he really did enjoy his time in the navy. Our armed forces are superb, very last single one of them and the sacrifices they have given for us throughout history is very humbling.
