I was actually half way through a scathing reply to SASLess last post, but deleted it because I couldn't be bothered to reply to a post that contributed nothing to the debate.

I agree with the latest posts that it is better if movements/types/capabilities are not discussed, more especially if it concerns recent or on-going ops. Intelligence gathering is all about collecting individual pieces of a huge jigsaw puzzle for which you don't have a picture to help you finish it. A lot of pieces are not much good in themselves, but eventually you'll manage to fit one to another and another, gradually building up to completion.

And when you have the full picture, you are better placed to inflict damage on your enemy. And if that enemy happens to be us, clearly we must do everything in our power to stop the other side getting hold of individual pieces of OUR puzzle.

It's our men and women who will die - I would not like that on my conscience.

So please let's be very careful what we post with regard to types, capabilities and movements, and that includes confirming rumours.
