May 22nd, 2011 - 01:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0UK not to need have Gibraltar base becouse it has no any power and interest at Mediterranean area ..even having a base at south Cyprus is fantasy.
The Royal Navy operates all across the world.
May 22nd, 2011 - 02:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0ed - Apart from sovereign territory in Gibraltar, two sovereign territories in Cyprus, a strategic relationship with two Commonwealth countries in the Mediterranean and our role as part of a joint operation enforcing a security council resolution in North Africa, i suppose you are right that we have no interest in the Mediterranean.

@4 But they were massively instrumental in beating the sh*te out of Argentine animals, weren't they? Argentines. Are they good for anything besides shagging each other's ass*sses?

May 22nd, 2011 - 07:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And so is the Argentinian navy, we all have a history, the difference is that the Argentinian, navy no longer poses a threat to anyone including the fish, ??
And the Royal navy is still powerfully enough to put you to sleep, with those fishes ?

No fantasy, this happens to be a fact,
Why do you nincompoop argies assume we are not where we are, cannot you read, look at the Royal navy’s home page and you will see where most of her ships are deployed, [all over the world]
Then look at the Argentinian, navy page and see where your navy is,
[Yep, just as i thought] its spread all over your only naval base,
And bolted to the floor.
[Your turn, try again] ???
Oh Marcos, there you go again with your submarine envy. The future of the Argentine navy is four patrol boats; ohhh we are scared now!

Middle East Peace Envoy.
Marcos - shooting oneself in the foot. Now Argentina can teach the world about that.
May 22nd, 2011 - 09:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Have fun with your patrol boats. The sailors will be pleased to know that the Royal Navy will be on standby when your ships run out of fuel.
Spain, like Argentina, is merely banging at a door that will never open. Like frustrated and annoying children they'll get a slap when they go too far !
