Totally concur with oggin....He has hit the nail on the head...however there are a couple of flaws in his ramblings...First one is
a ship doing what it said it would
As previously stated this was a T42 and therefore the ship thought it was with outhouse but actually was some distance away.
I had a chat with the guys who are safely back at Yeovilton (thankfully)... they seem confident in the fact that they did everything as they had been taught to do.
