Does it say that in the full report somewhere else? I can't find that in the text.

Today, the UK's Navy for example is so diminished due to cuts by successive governments, that it would struggle to defend even Britain's shores.

See for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBe_36XfZb4

UK military capability is not what perhaps persists in some people's imaginations, even compared to say 20 years ago.

Britain does need to increase military spending.
