C@S,
You must of mis-read my post, as it was written defending exactly those RN crews whose prime task is not SAR.

The fact is that there is no problem, the large number of rescues carried out over the years prove that this is the case. Your throw away "a couple of grapple serials" comment is so far removed from the truth, that I seriously doubt that you have spent any significant period deployed with a FRONT LINE RN unit, because surely you must have at some point in the past to feel justified to make such accusations.
Just to clarify that SAR was always regarded as a second line tour.
