Britain and the Free Seas

A little shorty today considering I posted twice yesterday. Just following on from those two really. I've been thinking more about Britain and how our foreign policy should be shaped. Historically we've generally done best when we've stayed away from continental land wars and focused on maintaining free seaways. It's probably a good rule of thumb for today. I very much doubt an actual war against Iran would be in any way productive whichever way you look at it. However, having a strong navy to protect our vessels at sea is essential. So I think that's the way I'd be looking to go were I in charge. Avoid war, but stay strong at sea.
