Update:

"Channel Crossings: Around 264,000 unauthorised arrivals were recorded between 2018 and 2025, with roughly 73% arriving via small boats across the English Channel." - Migration Observatory 

264,000 is the estimated population size of Plymouth.

"The total size of the full-time UK armed forces, comprising the UK regular forces, Gurkhas and full-time reserve service, was around 147,000. Of these, 82,000 were army personnel, 33,000 were members of the Royal Navy or Royal Marines, and 32,000 belonged to the Royal Air Force". - House of Lords Library
