HMS Bulwark already rescued 400 people.

Was on C4 news tonight with MOD footage. Already picked up 400 people. Bulwark has been doing this already for over a week and was on task in something like 5 days from sailing Devonport.
A tremendous reflection on the Captain, ship and people involved.
But I feel for the poor people picked up. Unloved and unwanted. Even the way the bootnecks were tossing the lifejackets at them seemed to indicate it, somehow. What the future for the refugee, if they even have one?
