    There is a report today that the MoD is considering the sale of HMS Victory which costs £1.5m a year to maintain.

    Nelson's flagship, about 250 years old (she was an old ship at the time of Trafalgar) is the oldest commssioned warship in the world and is an icon.

    This demonstrates just how desperate the funding position of the MoD is under this Government. They have significantly underfunded Defence and we all know how little Brown is interested.

    This is one of the most appalling suggestions I have seen in many years. Victory is an inspiration to many of today's Navy personell and it is the traditions associated with our history that set the benchmark for the services.
