    Navy intercepts Argentinian warship near British waters

    Not just chest beating: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/7313...sh-waters.html

    "Destroyer HMS York spotted the vessel around ten miles inside the disputed “oil zone” around the South Atlantic islands.

    The British crew had to radio the Argentinian ship, a smaller corvette named ARA Drummond, to demand that it change its course.

    Sources told The Sun that the ship made an “innocent navigational blunder” and were embarrassed about the mistake."

    Been done

    Merged into main thread

    It is a load of bollix - comparable to the recent Army recruiting social workers story.

    Oi! I started a thread on this & it's disappeared. There must be an Argie infiltrator here.

    Well at least you didn't start yet another Falklands thread just to tell us that.
    I bought a military watch. It didn't tell me the time, it told me to get my hair cut.

    Yep. Whenever anyone makes the obligatory crack about iPods in every RN-related thread, I daresay someone else is bound to mention the West Side Boys.

    I don't have to look for them. I just collect 'em as we go along. :P
    In 1953 the UK Defence Budget was 11.3% of GDP. By 1966 it had been reduced to 6.6%. In 2011 it is hovering around 2%. Good job we're no longer expected to fight any wars, isn't it?
