I know this may sound a bit cynical, but, was it wise to send out our new Type 45 Warship - cos according to reports; if they switch anything more than a light bulb on, on the bridge, it shuts everything down and she too sits on the water dead. So, was there a British Tug accompanying her out too?
I do know it does sound terrible.
I think its time we got our act together with our Military Forces and give them some 'real' reliable stuff. Instead of trying to penny pinch - unless they who are in charge of the Military are all model boaters
It sounds as though the Russians have one or two in charge.
