The next fleet review will probably be either the Platinum Jubilee or Charles' Coronation, both would be in the early 2020s (probably). That would be quite good: both QE carriers, perhaps 3-4 Type 45s available, perhaps even the odd 1-2 Type 26s to hand too.. Bolstered perhaps by the navies of Australia, Canada and NZ? A Commonwealth Realms fleet review, perhaps not even in England, would be pretty cool.

What about the 1000 vessel flotilla down the Thames, featuring the very best that NZ can provide - a Maori waka. Now when has the RN ever managed a 1000 ship fleet review??? Dickon M PS course it's a shame we can't have a fleet review. Wouldn't Edward VIIs review have been amazing to see? Dreadnoughts, Battlecruisers, Predreadnoughts, Cruisers, Light Cruisers, Destroyers. What a sight that would have been.
