All Royal Navy's Advanced Destroyers In Port

A source tells Sky News the presence of all six in port at once could be a "gross lack of planning" or "something more serious".

Seems a little odd and not much news about it and yet its the number 1 headline.

I bet it's to do with that powerplant cooling problem that was reported a while ago. I wonder if they've pulled them all in so that they can be modified in one go?

I heard on the radio they are going to be used to patrol UK waters and stop immigrants from getting in the UK. If true that is over kill and just plain nuts.
