Yes. I refer to the ability to have speedy turnaround times for naval ships. The proposal is to have dual crews such that the ship can come in to harbour, swap crews and sail straight back out again. It is about ensuring that whatever number of naval vessels we have, they can be turned around quickly and spend most of their time at sea, manned by alternating crews. Either of those will have a good priority strategically because our economic future will be in the Atlantic.
