    UK 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.

    ed - 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.

    Engage your brain before typing next time. You are as thick as Marcos.

    @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?

    Marcos Alejandro ,, The Royal Navy is part of ancient history
    And 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 ?

    ed (#)
    ..Even having a base at south Cyprus is fantasy,,
    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!

    “2 Zethee, The Royal Navy is part of ancient history.”

    The Royal Navy can never be Ancient history because the Royal Navy wasn't formed untill the early modern era.

    Bit of a failiure of an insult, really.

    Marcos - shooting oneself in the foot. Now Argentina can teach the world about that.

    Have 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 !
