I'm assuming they'll send them after "the coast is clear"....
After they get the Chinese to build them.
Pfft ...
Where are they going to borrow the minesweepers from?
Britain's Sad Navy 2026:
Aircraft Carriers: 2 Queen Elizabeth-class (HMS Queen Elizabeth, HMS Prince of Wales).
Submarines: 4 Vanguard-class (nuclear ballistic missile) and 6 Astute-class (nuclear attack) submarines.
Destroyers: 6 Type 45 guided-missile destroyers.
Frigates: 7 Type 23 frigates (undergoing upgrades, with replacements ordered).
Patrol/Mine Vessels: Over 20+ vessels, including Batch 2 River-class patrol ships.
Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA): Approx. 9–11 auxiliary vessels for replenishment and logistics.
Lol my navy in a partially landlocked civ 6 match is typically stronger than the current navy of "great" Britain 😂 embarrassing
I know...Iran used to have a similar sized navy as GB...
Pretty sad from the days of "Sea Lords" and they've got more admirals than boats these days 😂
I found the mine sweeper they're sending.

If we could just get the darn thing to start.
OK... we'll remember that if Britain ever needs U.S. help for any reason.
We'll respond to that soon... but not yet.
I dont usually do this, but I contacted my inside source to confirm this and he confirmed it. Infact, he even sent proof of the minesweeper Keir Starmer is preparing to be sent. Hopefully it will work.
Most of the ships Britain has don't function properly. Both aircraft carriers are in for repairs right now. The dragon class ship they were going to send had to go back because it couldn't supply water the way modern vessels are supposed to. I expect the minesweeper don't currently work...
Starmer's coming to help: https://x.com/vicsinghb/status/2043640006418243771
