Hard-headed approach
First Sea Lord
and Chief of Naval Staff
Admiral Sir Philip Jones said
the RN must take ‘‘a hard-
headed approach in setting our
requirements to keep costs
down, while maintaining a
credible capability, and then
having the discipline to stick to
those requirements to allow the
project to proceed at pace.‘‘
Adaptability is key; we need
a design based on common
standards, but which offers
different customers the
ability to specify different
configurations and capabilities
without the need for significant
revisions,’’ he said.
