Atlantic Conveyor

JAFAD, thanks for the good gen' -sounds about right.

From what I've heard of Alarm, it might be better to chuck in the Red Devils using HALO trailing smoke from their ankles with backpacks full of C-4 ! At least I'm sure that's how the Hollywood film featuring 'Delta Force' will go...

Re. Atlantic Conveyor, I've noticed too that the load on this ship keeps creeping up, to the extent she was carrying more Chinooks than a Nimitz class could handle !

A very sad loss, I hope but have no real faith in the idea that the U.K. May have invested in the SCADS concept, at the very least as far as countermeasures go...here's to Captain Ian North & his crew.
