Reading the text of the news article, it is indeed heartening to learn that the tradition of tracking & eliminating errant tennis balls persists in the latest generation of war canoes.

Can't wait for the Type 26's - my guess is they will be able to track a ping-pong ball, from which, as we all know, a glancing blow can cause submarines to run aground. Apparently. 8O
