Abstract
Even 20 years on many myths surround the 1981 Nott defence review and it remains a subject of some sensitivity within naval circles. This article establishes how the various polices were formulated, highlighting the role of the different groups within the Ministry of Defence and elsewhere, and the degree to which the various policies were actually implemented. It suggests that the review was the outcome of various hands competing for scarce resources within the MOD and that the belief that the navy would have been destroyed if the Falklands War had not occurred is false.
