Brits were all angry at Trump, saying the UK ‘doesn’t even have a navy’ – but then, you have this.

HMS Dragon is the only Royal Navy warship deployed in the conflict zone with Iran, but even this solitary destroyer has headed to port due to maintenance issues.

Daily Mail reported:

“In the latest saga involving HMS Dragon, the Type 45 destroyer that was sent to the warzone weeks after the fighting began is having to pull out.

The Daily Mail learned late last week that the warship was suffering issues with its water supplies affecting provisions to its sailors. The Ministry of Defense denied the claims but today admitted that HMS has sailed to a safe berth to undergo repairs.”

At port, the crew will attend to ‘a minor technical issue with onboard water systems’.

“HMS Dragon had been dispatched to protect Britain’s air bases in Cyprus, including RAF Akrotiri which was hit by a drone thought to be launched by Iranian proxy group Hezbollah in Lebanon on March 2.”

President Donald J. Trump described the UK’s aircraft carriers as ‘toys’, while War Secretary Pete Hegseth mocked the ‘Big Bad Royal Navy’ for failing to enter the Strait of Hormuz.
