Navy warship accidentally fires torpedo at nuclear dockyard - Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/industry/defence/10697895/Navy-warship-accidentally-fires-torpedo-at-nuclear-dockyard.html)


But they will. More slackness from a military under halfwits?

Talking of slackness ....

It was the torpedo that got fired - not the Skipper.

And nothing in the story mentions the Skipper being relieved of his post.

Nice made-up inaccurate headline.

NDs happens in all branches of the Forces be it HMS Argyll, Phantom v Jag or Squaddie on the range.

If baiting, go fish.

In all cases thank God there was no loss of life, hold the enquiry and learn the lessons.
