Poor, poor Romanian navy

And at least we'll hear them approaching when they come for the refund!

They probably found the rifles in the keel of those old frigates. Being used as ballast, no doubt...

But hang on, they're wearing slings... Quite difficult to slope arms with a slung rifle, no?

And wearing them incorrectly too. Take a closer look. Or is it just Romanian stylee?

Know the answer to this one. When they took over the ships someone thought they should appear with weapons. BAe who were facilitating the deal quicly borrowed a set of weapons just so's the photo could be taken. They were handed back to their rightful owners after the piccy was taken.

My brother-in-law elect (Cdr RN) is something to do with this sales project. Maybe he can get the Romanian sub-lieutenant's phone number for us? After all, if my sister were to unfortunately or accidentally be sent copies of these photos then it may be curtains for him - so no point in keeping the good news to himself?
