Warship - An appropriate response
Having just watched "Warship" last night, and HMS Duncan pushing in towards Crimea, my first thoughts were that a "Raid" of this magnitude (17 Aircraft including flankers), is pushing the boundaries (30 miles?) ,of what is an appropriate response to a "Sail Past".
Does anyone else think that the RAF/RN should be considering a similar response next time one or two of the bear's "rust buckets" passes within 5 miles in transit through the English Channel?
Or is it that Duncan is so confident of her capability that to respond with anything but cautious disdain would give the dog and pony show more credence than it is worth. Equally does that strategy transfer to the English Channel?
