"I bet if the MOD told you pigs fly you'd believe them"
Of the two of us here its increasingly clear, only one of us has worked in the MOD and worn dark blue uniform. I'll stick with what I know from experience, rather than the stereotypes you desperately wish to cling to thanks.
"As for no staff requirement - history is full of staff requirements that change, get cancelled, don't make sense or are unattainable"
And yet you still cannot show any evidence of one that has come anywhere near meeting your requirement to take a 2nd world war unguided rocket and sticking it on a merchant ship in any military anywhere in the world. How curious...
"Conversely there have been a fair number of weapons which made it into significant service and never had a staff requirement issued."
Care to name some since WW2?
