INteresting...

Think about it, a abandoned vessel, floating somewhere out there... And they can’t find it?

Hmmm, must have some really good stealth technology on board. Or we’ve been spending a lot of money on technology we didn’t need too.

On the other hand it’s been pointed on many times in books and movies that a vessel that is not radiating anything in the electro-magnetic spectrum is pretty hard to find in a combat situation. That might fit in here too. Also with no engines running it would naturally assume the temperature of it’s environment. That would make it difficult for satellites I imagine.

So many things to learn from incidents like these.

Cannibal Rats? That would mean that they would eat each other to death, right?

“This “ghost ship” laden with cannibal rats poses a clear and present danger to the U.K.”

Relax, most of the cannibal rats arrived in GB long ago from the Middle East. They are now feeding off of the Brits, occasionally cutting up a soldier to sustain themselves.

interesting story. Funny how Wendy David has an ad on the web page about a ghost ship with cannibal rats.

Almost like her life story

Obama has called for the easing of sanctions against the Ghost Ship.

A ship full of rats is the least of Britain’s problems.

At least a well-placed missile of sorts can sink it. Their other problem, not so easy.

From what I’ve read, 150 years ago there were so many derelict ships floating on the ocean, and being a danger to other ships, that crews were sent out to dynamite them whenever they found them.

“Please don’t tell me the British navy can’t handle this.”

The British navy probably can’t handle this.

He told you not to tell him that.

No need for the navy to bother, if they were smart. Just say, if the ship enters British waters, the first private company that can get it under control gets the salvage rights. Problem solved.

Maybe someone could teach the rats to eat Muzzies in the UK.

Salon article on "ghost ship with cannibal rats" = FR News.

Daily Mail article exposing BBC collusion to falsify reports on global warming = FR Chat.

Go figure.

It sounds like a problem that will solve itself.

May the best rat survive!
