ooops - looks like the shiny new sub had a loose nut behind the controls :o
or maybe its the defence spending cuts - they're grounding it earlier than expected :y

didnt you know? with the cuts it now has to double as a landing craft :o
-
either that or the driving lessons were part of the cuts ;D
-
Dear oh dear (and it probably will be). What an unfortunate name, given the circumstances.

Ah yes, our nuclear peashooter. Bet the Iranians are papping themselves.

A 'side ways promotion' for the skipper I would think! ::) ::) ::)

thats not a submarine, its a famous stornoway black pudding, some eedjit flushed it down the lavvie and it ended up there.
slice it and fry it!! yum nuclear pudding ;D
-
ironically, i heard on the radio the tug used to pull it free The Anglican Prince from Stornoway is being taken out of service next year due to govt cuts....one of only 3 tugs of that size in the UK (stornoway, lands end and devon) :o
so if Capt Magoo plans anymore trips in his sub - he'd better be tootling around the South Coast :y
-
yeah we have a contract to supply the Anglian prince so we will lose out aswell, knock on affect seems to have no meaning to the pen pushers.

:P Surely it shouldn`t be a problem; aren`t submarines designed to sink......and regularly too? ::)

Yes Debs, but the trouble is it didn't; it instead went up and didn't come back down!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Perhaps the little submarine doesn't want to be a submarine anymore and wants to be a frigate!! :D :D :D :D ;)
-
its probably full of all the governments dirty secrets and they tried to sink it to the bottom of the ocean but its popping back up to bite them in the ass

Plonkers. I wonder if anyone will get sacked? Don't suppose so.
Just a bad day at the office, lets face it it wasn't the first time in that spot. :-[ :-[

frigate
That word rang clearly throughout the boat when contact was made with the bottom.

That's alright BJ you can take a Mulligan. :y

I expect they did .. I just hope no-one was "sat down" at the time of impact !!!
:D :D

Yes, imagine having your hand casually gripping the 'vent' lever when she grounded! Doesn't bear thinking about ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

Do people in the forces still get punished for events like this or do they put it down to operational experience? Lets face it if they hadn't run aground it would have been a very neat trick getting that close to land. Last time I saw anything as impressive was a killer whale taking a seal off the beach in Patagonia!! ;D ;D
-
i would imagine it all falls down to the captain. Especially with something as fundamental as navigation. If a faulty torpedo went up, or an electrical problem stopped it, that would be different.
But to run a-ground, with all the computers working, in familiar waters, the Captain is going to be in trouble :(
-

Or able seaman as he will soon be known. ;D

"Up Periscope. What do you see?"
"All I can see is Skye, skipper"
"Full steam ahead then!"
maybe? ;)
