... Started attaching Torpedoes to Typhoons have they?
Now there's an idea .....

Mind you, if it's on the surface I would imagine a Sea Eagle/Exocet/Penguin/etc would spoil your day?

"It will take eight months to dismantle"

I was always taught a sentence must have a subject.

Whatever.

Having watched her depart and return from the hotwalls @ Portsmouth when I was a nipper, she'll always be a she (And I was Light blue).

I believe Sea Eagles became life x some years ago... I don't think we ever had air launch Exocet or Penguin. Looks like LGBs or Lynx Sea Skua! Of course, Nimrod2 had Harpoon capability - not sure if the capability was going forward to Nimrod4 but...

It's always called a 'Boat' because it never fails to get a bite. Its just the same as calling a Tracked Artillery piece a tank. Bottom line it never fails to amuse and is like shooting fish in a barrel.
