READERS, help get 100,000 hits for a country-wide petition to the government to keep the flag ship of the navy HMS Ocean, in service till new carriers are built and at sea. This situation can then be debated in parliament. The ship is needed even more so now with engine problems with the type 45 destroyers.
Go to website www.petition.co.uk, enter section military and sign petition HMS Ocean. If you do no have internet access, ask family and friends.
