    Type 23, good and fast ships... some are serving in the Chilean Navy, second generation of UK frigates doing so (after the Leander Class Frigates, which were replaced by the Type-23) and the other Type 22 also in use.

    Almirante Cochrane (FF-05)
    Almirante Condell (FF-06)
    and the newest Almirante Lynch (FF-07) layed down in 1994, ex-HMS Grafton.

    British hypocrisy
    This HMS Montrose was fighting pirates in the Gulf of Aden a few months ago. Now this HMS crap is heading to South America to go back to their old business, piracy.

    By definition a nation can't partake in piracy, Marcos.

    Pirates are independent soles, they don't like saluting MONKEYS, they tend to throw MONKEYS overboard.

    Unlike fascists, who will salute any MONKEY they find in a General's or Admiral's uniform!

    @2 Bet you're jealous you can't put HMS before the names of your boats. ARA. Isn't that the noise a dog makes? Or perhaps a bitch? I see Argentina is now engaging in piracy by interfering with Spanish vessels in international waters. You must be so proud of yourselves. I wonder how long it will be before the Spanish Navy turns up to protect its country's fishing vessels? I also wonder how long it will be before something Spanish sinks something Argentine? By the way, Argies undoubtedly know all there is to know about crap. Given what they left behind in OUR FALKLAND ISLANDS. And what they spend their lives living in!

    @5 Soles are either the bottom of shoes, or fish. Souls are a different matter. MONKEYS don't have them either.

    Every time you see the letter [HMS]
    The world looks in awe,
    The envious and jealousy, sit and admire,
    The mere presents of [HMS] brings peace and warnings,
    No other navy on the planet commands such respect,

    A respect that has been earned over centuries,
    Even the uneducated wave flags and clap when these ships pass them by,
    And what do losers do,
    The childish Argies condemn, and throw insults and mock
    They know not, what it is like to be proud and have respect,
    They are merely envious to the point or hatred, for we British have something, Argentina will never have, and will never use, success always brings out the disgruntled and shammers,
    HMS ,,you either watch in awe, ,,,or tremble at its power
    Just a fact. laugh laugh,,

    Dear RN friends:
    Please send a T-45 destroyer next time. It would be an even greater contribution to the peaceful stability of the South Atlantic area.

    10 Philippe: T-45's are just air defence destroyers, great for taking down aircraft. The Type 23's however are the teeth of the RN.

    Losers you were, and loser you are,
    You know a lot about talk talk, and nothing on warfare
    Or the royal navy.
    I’m surprised your classmates aren’t joined you,
    But that the difference between men and indoctrinated children.
    So insult what you don’t understand,
    Once a bully, always a bully

    You are a very stupid boy.

    You know very little about the Royal Navy, the third largest navy in the world and the best trained. Capable of reducing Argentina to a pile of ash any time of the day. God knows it would be doing the world a BIG favour if it ever did.

    Marcos/Ant.Anti fascist is as Borges would explain about any fanatic is the mirror image of those he apparently abhors.
    Therefore i think as with tea boy we need to give him a proper title.His ilk around the World who imagine they are fighting fascism are usually just as intolerant so from now on for me he is “Uncle Joe” that wonderfully nice gentleman from Georgia and that aint the North American midwest

    I believe on the basis of the British occupation of Río de la Plata, Argentina is in fact part of Britain.,

    Oh dear, even the Argies don’t like O-gara, or come to that, they don’t even like themselves, in fighting seems good for the sole,
    But [as seems] the Argies cant even stand each other, then we are the least of their problems,
    And the Falklands will be argentines Achilles heel

    On the basis of the British invasion of Río de la Plata I have been able to establish that Argentina is in fact owned by Great Britain.

    I have been tabling a series of motions at the UN in order to officially establish this claim to Argentina. There is historical president for this, on the basis of an almost 200 year invasion of the Falkland Islands by a German and some British ex patriots, Argentina claims the Falkland Islands.

    I can establish as historical fact that Río de la Plata was invaded by Britain and that this claim was never renounced, there is over 200 years of continued British claim to Argentina.

    This makes all Argentines suject to British law and taxation. I am planning to get Buenos Aires renamed Port of Britain. Argentina will be called Bairdland, after the leader of British forces in the first occupation of Río de la Plata.

    It is important to state that this did not happen just once - as in the Argentine claim to the Falklands... but twice!
