Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said the UK continued to push for a diplomatic resolution to the situation.

Is that like an Obama cave-in?

“Any warship with a large Dalek mounted above her bridge means serious business.”

Dalek? I thought that was a party hat.

[ThunderSleeps]

“Red right returning” so I’d say leaving.

[deadrock]

No doubt with the correct percentages of “freaks and hairies,
dykes and fairies.”

Let’s ask Flipper because,

“No one you see
Is smarter than he.”

Well, Flipper?

“Eeeeeeeaaaaaah!

Eeeeaaaaaahhhh!”

He says he wants a fish.

[aumrl]

Europe?

Boris told his Navy commanders to grow some ball$!

HMS Duncan grew a big one way up high.

[sparklite2]

yes

The RN designates frigates and destroyers by function and not size. While in most navies an FF/FFG is smaller in size than a DD/DDG that is not necessarily the case in the RN.

So I guess the tankers stolen by Iran are just gone? This is an early test for Boris Johnson. Let’s hope he passes the test.

She be sailing on the tide it looks like.

[Captain7seas]

Hope she performs better than the HMS Coventry in the Falklands dust up.

[abb]

Yup. Lots of brave Royal Navy sailors are turning over in their graves.

[Rebelbase]

Might the mullahs sink a brit warship before trying the US Navy?

[SuperLuminal]

"...a large Dalek mounted above her bridge ..."

Dang! Now I'll get that image every time I re-watch Amelia putting her hands on that Dalek... Now I understand why she wiped out the entire race...
