	The Royal Navy
		Though they are becoming elderly (the first of their replacements, HMS Excalibur, is under construction, and Alacrity will pay off when she is launched) the A-boats remain popular and highly regarded, both by their crews and by others.
		The exceptional toughness of these ships (Antrim acquired the nickname 'Pepperpot' previously held by HMS Penelope, from the scale of damage she survived) led to many design lessons being included in the "Battles" and "Tigers".
		Several of the class have been extensively modernised, due to delays with the "Tigers" intended to replace them: unmodernised vessels are still capable, though without the newer defences they are vulnerable to the new generation of antiship missiles.
