Nice to see US contribution but hopefully no one on this thread so far has put forward ANY opinions regarding this shooting and quite rightly so, as none of us were present.
I cannot recall ANYTHING like this event ever happening in the Royal Navy and hopefully it will be a 'one off' type incident.
During my time in the armed services a new word came into being...

Thankfully it remained the other side of the 'pond', but sadly it was
not confined to the Vietnam era.
To all those that were under the impression that the police had taken control of this boat, I will simply say that she was due to sail at approximately 1640 this afternoon, and I have just confirmed that it is in the public domain that she will indeed be sailing at the scheduled time. (providing she is in all respects ready to put to sea).
