Well, looking at this we have 24 patrol boats, so assuming that we have 2/3rds of those operational would give us 16, which if we assume a six hour patrol time per boat gives us the 4 that the article talks about, for the whole of the UK. So we could plonk all of those in the Channel, but this I think is rather missing the point that the Navy would simply bring the people in dinghy's back to the (UK) shore.
