Not taking ANYTHING away from all involved in this, but MaroonMan4, if you look at the facts of who was actually involved in the actual rescue, you will see that it was carried out by a UK company James Fisher Rumic Ltd with a team of 8 civilian operators. They operate, service and maintain Scorpio 45. Perhaps there is a risk that the “UK public” and more importantly, those with the “Treasury pen” will see this as a ringing endorsement for contractorisation, privatisation and civilianisation?
