Whilst it is possible the RN have copied such a technique, the training and maintenance of such a skill is expensive and I would doubt that the crew of a RN ship be it a bootie or matelot that is only on station for a matter of months have the resources or backing to develop it
Yes we do have the resources and the training. This operation was conducted entirely by RN/RM personnel. The Lynx fleet have been training hard for this kind of operation for some time and they should be congratulated on a job well done.
As for the comment from Pr00ne
The RN might as well p*ss in the ocean
...hmmm, I think you'll find that they do. How else would they "go"? Tow a portaloo behind them?
