Lets be frank, its a British tabloid blowing all of this way out of proportion. Best treat it in the same way as its news exclusive on the 2006 invasion of the Falkland Islands was treated... as entertaining fiction.
After all, the heavily armed warship (as they put it) was HMS Scimtar, an 18ton speed boat that protects the harbour. Now I know the Daily Mail has gripes with Labour's defence procurement programme; but a speed boat with a machine gun on the back is not a heavily armed British Warship.
