MP's warn the Royal Navy fleet is at a 'dangerous and historic low'

The Royal Navy faces challenges with its current fleet of 19 frigates and destroyers, which is insufficient for potential threats. The Navy plans to replace old frigates with new ones, but this will still leave a shortfall. The Type 45 destroyers, although advanced, have engine issues in hot climates. The Navy's strategic importance is highlighted, but the current fleet size is criticized as inadequate.
