    Yeah, it'd be nice to expand the naval base down there, but, as with most of the opinions expressed on this board, it's a case of political will and, more importantly the lack thereof.

    We could all list off a multitude of things that we'd like to see equipping our defence forces, but Fast Jet Interceptors, Trainers, MBT's, Scout Tanks, Helicoptors and a fleet of modern up to date warships are never gonna happen.
