They also tackle topics relating to the Israel-Iran War, the British reaction to it and also what President Donald Trump may or may not do next.

Together with podcast host Iain Ballantyne he considers the case for augmenting the UK’s sea-based Trident missile force. Among other things, Iain wonders if a driver might be the sheer stress imposed on the Royal Navy’s (RN’s) ballistic missile submarines by very long patrols.

A National Audit Office (NAO) report on ‘The Equipment Plan 2023 - 2033’ in the UK makes for grim reading, revealing a massive so-called ‘black hole’ in the Defence budget, which means there is apparently no money for key projects, including future warships.
In part two of the discussion, host Iain Ballantyne and guests Gary Blackburn and James Bosbotinis weigh up the shortfall in funding. They also ponder what the Labour Government-in-waiting might do to fill in the ‘black hole’ if it succeeds in coming to power in 2024.

As a very young submariner in the late 1950s Mike endured marathon patrols in diesel-electric submarines, most notably HMS Taciturn.
In this fascinating discussion with Warships Pod host Iain Ballantyne, Mike reveals how Taciturn ventured into Arctic waters to gather intelligence on Red Navy exercises and, potentially, the foe’s secret technology.

It includes a discussion on the historical context of The Bomb’s use to end WW2, especially in light of the US Navy already bringing Japan to the brink of surrender via a blockade enforced by its submarines. So, what were the motivations for dropping the Fat Man and Little Boy nuclear weapons on Hiroshima in 1945?

It was meant to lay out how British national defence and security will be achieved, especially in light of the on-going Ukraine War. However, it is regarded by some as nothing more than a ‘word salad’ - an opaquely worded smokescreen to hide the fact that Britain doesn’t have enough money to defend itself properly.
Gary highlights valid points made by the DCP, while also suggesting its weaknesses. Iain proposes the DCP sho...2023-08-1843 minWarships PodCdr Rob Forsyth Pt 2 – Polaris ‘Crash Dive’, Perisher ‘Teacher’ & SSN CommandIn the second and final installment of our discussion with British submarine captain Commander Rob Forsyth, we hear how a hard-charging Soviet spy vessel forced him to order HMS Repulse to ‘crash dive’. It happened as the Polaris missile submarine deployed from Scotland on a deterrent patrol in the early 1970s.
With the UK and its NATO allies locked in the Cold War confrontation with the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact, it was vitally important the best of the best became submarine captains, able to take such split-second, life-or-death decisions at sea.

With Warships Pod host Iain Ballantyne, Rob also discusses a submerged transatlantic transit in the same diesel-electric boat, which turned out not to be the record-breaking voyage everybody hoped for (due to a messy technical difficulty).2023-07-1848 min
LohikäärmeradioJakso 37 - Synkkääkin synkempi dystopiaseikkailuKoska huhtikuu oli kuukausista julmin, me kaks despoottia (dystooppia?) äänitimme koko jakson vasta toukokuussa. Mutta koska huhtikuu juuri loppui, puhuimme pelkästään dystopioista. Ihan kamalaa oli eikä kellään ollut kivaa, mikä kuului asiaan. Tuttuun, ammattitaitoiseen tapaamme toinen juontajista oli lukenut aiheesta kaiken ja toinen ei mitään. Jakson kantavina teemoina olivat konfliktit ja erimielisyydet, koska ihmiskunnan on vaan täysin mahdotonta olla samaa mieltä mistään. Hyvin nopeasti päädyimme kannibalismiin ja sukupuolten sortoon.
