Your point being!

My point being, an interesting newspaper article on the RN, on an incident which happened 5 years ago.

Ministers also blanked Parliamentary questions about the incident - which was described as a "Titanic embarrassment" by one MP - saying exact information could jeopardise national security.

My bold, his pun. :nemo:

My boss wasn't bothered, but my no claims bonus was fukced.

Five years ago, while sailing in Northern Climes, I gave my name and address to an Iceberg when I witnessed it being struck by a moving submarine whilst the Ice berg was sitting safely stationary in then sea.

The Submarine made off failing to give his name and address or insurance details. I fink he should be nicked for failing to stop after an accident.

No not me, that was the job of the local Traffic Walrus. I know the Iceberg put a contract out to a "Family" of Polar Bears who were later photographed giving a USN SSN a bit of a slapping for ice damage.

My spy on the Clyde tells me boats have been returning with Killer Whale teeth marks on casing, acoustic tiles torn off so it appears the MOD are not getting it all their own way.

Its yer boy racer Nukey Poos causing the trouble Born Again Bunhouse Sunday Racers, we never had this problem when we slipped in and out at 2 knots on a P & O or even a stretched 'T'.

Seems like the same story that SSN103 came back with in the late sixties early seventies!!! the iceberg she hit was painted on the underside with copious amounts of re(RED) lead.

Earlier in the sixties I recall that we used to polish our fibreglass casing with Cherryblossom boot polish, even though we lost it twice to Kronstadt propellors - din't stop the Jimmy insisting we polish the third newly fitted casing. Still isn't this what submarining is all about???
