Submariners face toughest of tests
Next month will see four serving Royal Navy submariners face the remarkable mental and physical challenge of rowing unsupported in a race across the Atlantic Ocean. The team, HMS Oardacious, will be the first ever official Royal Navy team to take part in the world’s toughest rowing race, the 3,000-mile Atlantic challenge. They will depart from La Gomera in the Canary Islands and are aiming to reach Nelson’s Dockyard in Antigua just over a month later. The crew will face the challenge of battling 30 foot waves, sleep deprivation, salt sores, torrential rain and every submariner’s nightmare – blistering sunshine.

From Navy Books Friday Briefing - love the last sentance..............................................

Well it wouldn't have been a dived BBQ, would it?

Sound's like a normal patrol, followed by a jolly, bit of graft followed by sunshine.

'First EVER transatlantic drug submarine' captured by Spanish police

Police in Spain will have to wait another day until they can crane-lift the first submarine to ever crossed the Atlantic Ocean and was intercepted Sunday with at least $121 million worth of cocaine.

Joking apart - I wouldn't fancy crossing the Hamoaze in that, never mind the Atlantic!

 

[BillyNoMates]

I'm thinking it was probably towed a fair part of the way. Newspapers just bigging it up for dramatic effect.
Good catch though.

Looks a tadge small for me, bit O Boat ish

Part of the way text refers to the incorrect year...... bad proof reading!
