Super-B not so super...

And now Superb repeats Traf's mistake and hits rocks in the Red Sea.

I mean, it's not like that is a remote bit of water!

 

I just hope tracing paper wasn't involved!
This from the mod website:

Incident appears to have involved a seamount.

 

Why can't we have a positive report on this - "Rock attacks British submarine ?"

 

'UK submarine successfully finds already charted undersea pinnicle. '

:thumright: :w00t:

Good to hear that there are no casulaties

 

UK Submarine claims new underwater Island for Great Britain. Marks the spot to show proof of landing.

OR


Rocky Pinnacle, trained by extremist in Mid East, attacks innocent UK Submarine. The Admiralty spokesman said, "That a Pinnacle should, with out just cause attack our Submarine like this, is just not British. Our response to this will be to send a squadron of Dozer-Boats to the area to flatten out the sea bed to prevent any recurrence"

Nutty

 

Just what the RN needs just now, what with Trafs foopah comming to light last week and now this, glad all ships staff are ok I have some mates onboard. You will probably all be on your way home soon lads, see you then.

 

Very very very expensive echo sounding technique...
OOW........'Fix on the chart...you are safe...nearest point of danger, THE SEABED oops'!!!!
Just relieved she wasn't doing warp factor plenty while using bottom bounce mode and all the boys are safe!

 

I second that, its good to hear that all is well with the lads. :thumright:
I will see you for a beer or three when you get back

As Elvis would have said:

"Everybody in the whole Dry Dock"
"Has been doin' the Red Sea Rock......"

(Than-you-verrry-much)

Happy to hear the wet stuff stayed on the outside.

 

Could be worse… Ennerdale Rock anyone?

 

Blooming sat navs, what are they using? Tom Tom or Co Pilot?

 

There was also "no environmental impact" from the collision, he added.

Well what about all those poor Crustations I ask !!

 

What have the Crustations ever done for us? Nothing!

 

I bet there was a sharp rise in greenhouse gas emissions in the local area!
