HMS Superb nuclear submarine damaged in Red Sea crash
"A British nuclear-powered submarine was damaged when it collided with rocks in the Red Sea, the Ministry of Defence has said".
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
The Telegraph have the wrong picture, that is not Super B
ReplyDeleteThat is an impression of HMS Astute. It must be an impression as she cant even get to sea.
ReplyDeleteStupid names they give submariness, battleships etc...
ReplyDeleteI liked the Steve Bell HMS Penis.
I'm worried about how these guys are going to get home. The boat was in Aqaba and will have to sail on the surface, and very slowly through the Red Sea and the Suez canal. Its pretty clear that she wasn't there on a training exercise whatever the MOD says but as a part of the action in Iraq and Afghanistan so the thought of a crippled crawling nuclear submarine sailing on top through the Middle East is not something that your average islamist terrorist is going to fail to notice. Any word on an escort?
