Telstar, I have shown you the patience and respect due to a man who has suffered by our hand, you have received my sympathies and apologies as I have felt appropriate, but you do NOT get to insult Sveinbjörn Beinteinsson. You should be bigger than that if you are to be considered worthy of my further respect.

I insist that you apologise and retract your statements about that grand man!

@ollieratted15 My mate was on HMS NAIAD when the ramming took place,he even left his action station to come on deck for a look.....hard as nails the Royal Navy.

Should have put it up them with an AS12 missile from a Wasp.........would not have been anymore rammings then.......tin pot navy/coast guard.

@NAIAD49 And then the international community gets pissed at Britain, sanctions, and even the other Scandinavian countries attacking British vessels.

There seems to be a high level of bad feeling between parties on this thread. I think it fair to point out that the Royal Navy were doing a job given to us by our government and in exactly the same way, the Icelandic lads were at sea doing their duty to the Icelandic government. I cannot recall there ever being malice toward the crews of Tyr, Ver, Aegir and Baldur, but a certain admiration for their professionalism at sea. We were all just doing our duty and trying very hard not to kill anyone..

UBIQ.......I was aboard Tartar after your "meeting" with Tyr.....you came up slow in heavy swell on our port side so we could see your damage, wish I still had the photo's. Your interior white paintwork and "X" hatch markings were very clear to see. My bruv was on Falmouth with you then, he said you had a hell of a tricky journey back to Scotland.....Great times tho', never a day goes by without missing the life and the team spirit...........

@wkbfutewc

I was aboard the Falmouth when she rammed Tyr, caved in the bow and was later filled with concrete.

So how is the overfishing going in UK's waters (or should one say EU waters?) these days? Aside from the sanctified mackerel, the "success story in European fishing."
