      The US Navy has been wearing camo on ships for years. It's the utility uniform. They also use blue coveralls as well. So, camo onboard a ship is not uncommon nowadays.

      The Irish government is ordering a larger ship this year, possibly a Damen MPSS similar to what Portugal ordered last year, the NPR Dom Joao II... Its a drone flat top with a vehicle deck and landing craft useful for humanitarian and disaster relief missions... 7000 tons displacement... Ireland is a small nation with a small population compared to the UK, France, and Germany... Notice Belgium's navy isn't much larger...

    We should stop wasting money on the navy, air corps , army and department of defence. All are a total failure so give it up. Give the army budget to the Garda and have thousands of additional Gards. Give the air corps choppers to the Garda and the Coast Guard. Give the navy ships to the Coast Guard for drug interdiction and fishery protection. Give air corps fixed wing planes to HSE to use as air ambulance. Public would get better return for the money. We dont need any military
