I expect it was the helmsman, h should be looking at what he's doing, instead of eyeing the crumpet

There is that I guess!
What made me laugh was when they got caught.
Anyone remember the RM doing the mock attack on Gibraltar a few years ago? Ended up invading bloomin' Spain by mistake! I mean, how they manage that? Big rock, cant miss it..?!
My how I laughed.
As much as I do sincerely wish those poor lads n lass god speed home, I do wonder if they were actually in the wrong place. It's not beyond the scope of reality for it to have happened.

I remember the spain issue as well, which makes me sure it doesn't apply this time, plus of course Sat nav on ships is not as simplistic as our route finder version.

It was, but don't rigid/rubber boats have a seeker that locks onto an beacon on the mothership?
Also thinking about it, whats the radar profile on one of those boats, I bet its miniscule.
Fecking Iranians, nuke 'em I say, bastid ragheads
