It was £348 million for three Batch 2 Rivers not £348 million each.
Indeed, apologies for my confusion there.

Cardiff yeap though the English will be moaning soon if one isn't named after a "British" city soon (and by that they mean English) I would suggest it could be London. But Cardiff to cover wales. Then a northern, Midland and Southern English city. So Newcastle, Birmingham and London with Glasgow, Cardiff and Belfast. |

well the naming of the first three is a shameless and pathetic attempt to tie the nationalistic sentiments of the provinces to the Royal Navy. They aren't going to give any special attention to the North, because why would they? So Newcastle, Birmingham and London with Glasgow, Cardiff and Belfast. For all of their bitching the Scottish don't actually know what it's like when Westminster really doesn't give a fuck about you. however the political motivations of the politicians aside, they're perfectly serviceable names with long histories, as to what the other 3 will be called Coventry, London, and if their whining manages to have any effect, Portsmouth |

Personally for the "Southern" English city I'd like to see Plymouth. |

Since it seems likely only three will be ordered in the short-term and the last of the class won't complete until 2027 I suspect there is plenty of time for the MOD to look at names. |

Considering that all BMT can realistically bring to the table is the Venator design it looks like it's gonna be Venator Vs Cutlass/leander. |
