Royal Navy sends its mighiest ship to take on the Iranian show of force in the Gulf

Didn't the Telegraph used to be a serious Newspaper?

The 8,000 ton destroyer will carry 48 Sea Vipers that can also be used to shoot down fighters as well as sea skimming missiles. It will also carry a Lynx helicopter capable of carrying Sea Skua anti-ship missiles and is capable of embarking 60 special forces troops.

60 troops in a lynx; I've got to see that happen...!
