Question

Does Reform UK have a coherent naval policy?

Short answer

Its policy has some interesting contributors, while the wider assessment is that most UK parties have weak defence policies and particularly poor naval policies.

Notes

Reform UK's naval policy has some interesting people behind it, although its coherence receives no detailed assessment here. Most UK parties have weak defence policies in this judgment, with naval policy particularly poor. Defence advice can be offered across party lines. Alex Clarke describes volunteering his time as a sounding board for any political party that asks for help examining its defence position.
