Solve What? It was decided 30 years ago when they tried to steal it and were sent home in international disgrace. The UN charter determines that the right of self determination is above all other claims. I look forward to seeing the films of their pathetic eviction once again in April. Months after they were always referred to in the Navy as "Enemy". They still are. 6 months later we were still cleaning up after them. We took anything useful that still worked, put the the rest in an RFA and dumped it in the sea. All the best kit they had, we had. Some of it was good, most if it was rubbish apart from a few exceptions which we had fun with until Management said we should stop.
Remember HMS Desire discovered it in 1592 and claimed for the Crown. That predates ANY other claim.
