    I can here the collective sigh's of releif from the highly strung Malvinists victimhood brigade as this sword of Damocles is lifted from their heads, how terrible that 1 type 42 threatened them in such a manner!

    The article is factually incorrect. It is not the UK that has started the exploratory drilling - it is the FIG.

    Jajaja as much as you like Horacio. York was relieved from its duties by HMS Portland.

    Horacio do keep abreast of the world mate, it makes you look less of a daft C*nt when your often factually blasphemous statements get found out.

    You have a brain dear fellow, perhaps use it before your fingers connect with the keyboard?

    Don't worry jorge! It'll only be a year or so before you have some patrol boats.But will they dare stick their noses outside the River Plate? There's the question.

    I still think it'll the navy will be in stitches when these Argentine patrol boats try to “impose sovereignty” over a HMS Destroyer.

    For God's sake, how many times do I have to ask you people on here not to upset jorge! If he gets really riled and talks to Cristina, they might commission a flotilla of rowing boats. Seriously, these patrol boats are a threat. Nothing worse than creating another shipwreck. A Type 45 is around four times the size. They might not even notice. But think of the disgrace for Royal Navy captain. “You sank an Argentine patrol boat and didn't notice?” “Did you have no lookouts?” “What's this dent in your prow?” “Right, you are reprimanded for not keeping a proper lookout. You should not appear here without knowing WHICH Argentine patrol boat you sank”. “Do it properly next time.”

    Oh dear. diego haqs gone too far. Was it his rude or foul language? Was it his offensive behaviour? Or was it just because he kept on posting in Spanish? We shall never know. But perhaps he'll go away.
