I was working in a factory earlier this summer after finishing uni, and was talking to one of the managers about my application into the RN. He informed me that he served with HMS Invincible in the conflict in '82. During our Discussion, he said that Invincible had one night been entrusted with some Nuclear weapons. Thought it might have just been an exaggeration of the truth, but this suggests otherwise. This would therefore give support to the notion that they were not to be used would it not, as as far as i am aware Air Craft carriers do not have the capability to launch such a device unless it was strapped to an FRS/1?

Regards to all ....

P.S watched the coverage of T200 earlier to day. Very impressive, just what the Navy needs in terms of coverage!!

FLY NAVY!!
