I should imagine at least one more frigate will be despatched to assist HMS Montrose.

WHAT WITH THE COMMANDEERED IRANIAN TANKER AT GIBRALTAR AND THE SIMILAR DETAINMENT OF THE NORTH KOREAN VESSEL 'WISE HONEST' NOW IN AMERICAN SAMOA AND MASSIVE SANCTIONS NOW IN PLACE AGAINST MALFEASORS IRAN AND FATBOY....WWIII IS WELL UNDERWAY AS WE MAKE THE 'HAVE NOTS' HAVE EVEN LESS. NUTHING WOULD PLEASE ME MORE THAN TO RESURRECT A RUST BUCKET TANKER AND ARM IT WITH AN ARRAY PHALANX GUNS HIDDEN LIKE THE OLD WWI Q SHIPS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-ship (Attacks on merchant ships by pirates originating on the Somalia coast have brought suggestions from some security experts that Q-ships be used again to tempt pirates into attacking a well-defended ship.) AND LET THE IRANIANS APPROACH AT THEIR PERIL. RULE 1: NO STOPPIN' FOR SURVIVORS ALSO WE SHOULD POST FALSE NEWS THAT NEW KORAN TRANSLATION REVEALS THAT U DON'T GET 72 VIRGINS IN PARADISE IF U DIE ON JIHAD ....BY DROWNING-THAT SHOULD REDUCE JIHADIST ENTHUSIASM CONSIDERABLY! (PSYCHOLGICAL WARFARE??!!) PLAN B CALLS FOR A COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF HORMUZ BY SINKING ALA SCAPA FLOW STYLE BLOCK-SHIPS AND TURNING THE PERSIAN GULF INTO A PERMANENT LAKE; THEY' PAY TREMENDOUS FEE TO SHIP THRU OUR PIPELINES...WEIRDLY RENDERING UNTO IRAN WHAT IT IS CURRENTLY ATTEMPTING IN THE STRAIT. <PIPELINE ACROSS SAUDI ARABIA
