HMS Westminster on patrol and "Winchester Seawolf"

Quote:
A royal navy warship was left ‘dangerously unarmed’ with as few as four missiles while it carried out operations off Libya, it emerged yesterday.
HMS Westminster held only two rounds of missiles during the recent Nato mission to protect the country’s civilians from Colonel Gaddafi’s forces.
The Type-23 frigate has a capacity of 32 Seawolf and eight Harpoon missiles but was only armed with the four missiles which are fired in pairs therefore allowing it only two rounds to fire.
WTF RN?

If only your SAMs were some kind of uhhhh NATO "Standard" bird we could have loaned you some.
