Carole Walker: Times Radio - a Strait of Hormuz taskforce

This would need to be a multinational force to have the kind of enduring presence [in the Strait]. The interesting bit is the use here of various types of uncrewed vessels, drones, for a combination of sensing, for situational awareness - seeing what is out there, and potentially clearing mines...A lot of this technology is untested though. The Royal Navy is having to look at different ways of achieving what it tries to do because it is shrinking in terms of ships and people."
