@pogmathon100 Unfortunately they were an armed party in Iranian national waters and as such were open to arrest, and legally so, according to international law. To have resisted would have constituted a beligerant act. That is why they gave themselves over.

I am still ashamed about what happened when RN commandos (?) Were arrested by the Iranians. I am a 57 year old man, and yet I would truly wish to die rather than experience what happened there. My dad died last year . He was 93 . He was wounded in Holland in 1945. Personally would rather die than shame my country. My country was shamed that day. What answer does the RN have? We have not yet heard. How do I contact the people at the top? My mum went through WW!!. We talk. She is ashamed.

@UKCallum1 Apparently so, and that is insane! I'm hoping to serve on the Astute class sometime!

@jamiejohnson1611 The black hole you need to worry about is not the NHS, it's Afghanistan, which is supposed to be the key to everything even remotely connected with the UK's defence, and which is sucking the life blood out of the entire armed forces budget. The key danger from that part of the world is the inspiration that it offers to home-grown extremists - as we saw five years ago. Chasing bad guys around the Afghan-Pakistan border will never put that particular genie back in the bottle.

@2k8FARNHILL2k8 no you have it all wrong mate back in the day we have over 600 we still have 336 the reason why we have less is because we upgraded every vessel and has the worlds best technology built onto them thats why mate
-
@2k8FARNHILL2k8 And ofcourse the capability of those vessels have absolutely no bearing on the quality of the navy. Much better to have 404 shit vessels than 117 good ones right? Seriously, fuck off and don't come back until you have even the slightest clue what you're talking about. In the Cold War, the US had 600 ships, now they have 280 and it will probably fall to about 240 by 2025. But by your logic that must make the US Navy shit too right? Every navy on Earth has shrunk, not just the UK.

@dbrz I know what you mean, the conservatives are supposed to be the party of patriotism but with political correctness even they would rather syphon money off to the black hole thag is the nhs and so called 'incentive' schemes. This period of time will be just like the 1930s when almosg no money will be given to the forces due to complasantsy, theyle realise soon enough what a massive mistake theyve made.

@jamiejohnson1611 : Get ready for another Falklands War what with all that Oil they've found and, let's face it, Cameron's lot are already threatening to pull the plug on the planned Queen Elizabeth class carriers the RN desperately needs. ANOTHER short sighted, 1st term Conservative Govt. is *all* we need. But what's the alternative?

I hope to god we get a sensible govt in this year! It will be a sad day if the royal navy is not given its carriers, subs and frigates! Rule brittania!
