/FLASH// HMS Liverpool attacked by Libyan forces.

[TLAM Strike]

The British Destroyer was fired upon by rockets and heavy machine gun fire while patrolling off the cost of Libya. HMS Liverpool returned fire with its 4.5 in gun and destroyed their attacks while suffering no damage.

This comes in the wake of an attempt by Libyan forces to mine the harbor of Misrata. And earlier this week FNS Courbet was attacked in a similar engagement.

Hurrah for the Royal Navy. :salute:

Just in case somebody might want to check the current bids on the ex-RN carrier Ark Royal. Check to see if a certain Mr. Kaw Dafee put one in. :D

Can we just go ahead and declare war without waiting for NATO and the pacifists in Geneva to tell us its morally wrong and we can't do it?

If I had a decommissioned naval vessel, I'd go raiding.

Need a good XO?

No damage to the ship.

It just goes to show that Gaddafi's forces are desperate.

He just won't quit.
