A surprisingly cool proposal from the Lib Dems to buy 6 more frigates and build 4 new shipyards, expanding the RN by the mid-30s. 3 Type 26: £2.85B - Fleet increased to 11. 3 Type 31: £1.2B - Fleet increased to 8. 4 new shipyards: £370 million. A total investment of ~£4.4 billion, funded through proposed Defense Bonds. The party also wants to raise the digital services tax from 2% to 10% to help fund operating costs.
