Gegene,
The fight was in the Bay of Biscay WSW of Brest.
I do not support the anti-french sentiment on some of these forums. I have worked with many nations over the years and I have the utmost respect forthe French Military (Notice that I qualified it as the French Military and not Politicians).
I think that we Brits could learn a lot from the French. Here's just a short list.
They have their own independent Nuclear Deterrant that does not rely on US hardware.
They are the only European Country that has not forgotten the value of conventional Aircraft Carriers with proper aircraft on them.
Mirage 2000
Exocet
Rafale
They are self sufficient in Nuclear Energy and sell power to us at peak times.
They have a high volume motor industry that is owned by the French.
They charge us to use their motorways.
They eat all the seafood that is caught of our coasts.
They export their economic migrants to us.
Their politicians will screw us every time!
French or Spams.....?????? Discuss
Can't spell deterant, detterant, deterrant, boll**** Nuclear Force!
