Ready for a combative age
From the seabed to cyberspace, the Royal Navy is advancing toward full war-fighting readiness, stepping up to secure the nation in an increasingly contested world.
Ready to Fight
The world is becoming more contested and less predictable. The pace of tech development is dramatically changing warfare. Threats to the UK, our allies, and our interests are increasing across all domains. In this environment, the Royal Navy must be ready for warfighting as part of the integrated force in the modern combative age.
The world has changed. The threat we now face is more serious and less predictable. We must act now and move rapidly to a position of warfighting readiness. We must be combat ready, as one integrated force working together across Defence and the nation to deter threats and strengthen our national security. War is a possibility, and the Royal Navy must be ready.
Our focus
Warfighting people
The will to win
Everyone has a role to play. We will rise to the challenge and, with confidence in our exceptional people, collectively drive the Navy forward. The Royal Navy will be different by necessity and, together, we will deliver a Navy that embodies grit, ingenuity, and purpose; a Navy that is ready - not in theory, but in fact - to fight and prevail.

The power to fight
We will transition to a Hybrid Navy that is both capability and mindset: adaptable, connected, and lethal.
The Royal Navy will deliver a ready and resilient conventional and nuclear deterrent, able to fight and win against peer adversaries as part of an integrated NATO force, while safeguarding the UK homeland, critical national infrastructure, and Overseas Territories.

The strength to endure
Our adversaries are challenging our reach, probing our resolve, testing our resilience and contesting our advantage at sea, in the air, across cyber, and into space. The pace of competition is unrelenting, but we will respond without hesitation. We will be ready to operate with confidence with what we have now and evolve decisively towards a hybrid force.
