• Delete Only two Google news search results appear. One from January 17, 2012 [1] about the proposed Future Ship Project 21st Century. The other search result [2] is hidden behind a paywall. So it was never made and got little attention even as a suggestion. Dream Focus 08:42, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
• It received attention. Not quite the attention that was desired.
  • "New royal yacht: how 'spontaneous' calls for relaunched Britannia were carefully stage-managed". The Guardian. 2012-01-21.
  • "Royal yacht idea considered by Cameron". BBC News. 2012-01-16.
  • "New royal yacht 'not appropriate', says Cameron". Channel 4 News. 2012-01-16.
  • "Three rival groups vie to give Queen a new yacht". The Times. 2012-05-28.
• Apparently someone named "Blunkett" liked the idea, according to its proponent at least, when it was renamed from "Cadland" to "FSP21". But there's also a record of rejection going back to the 1990s, according to the same proponent.
  • Bawtree, David; Richardson, Colleen (2005). "Modern education before the mast" (PDF). Imperial Engineer (3): 9. Blunkett responded with enthusiasm.

• Delete - At best this is is a case of TOOSOON. An article on a ship that might be built which has little notable coverage seems pointless and not encyclopaedic. Dunarc (talk) 22:03, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
• Delete. If a new royal yacht is completed it obviously will have and deserve its own article, but not now, and certainly not an article as low-quality as this one. RobinCarmody (talk) 00:22, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
