If it's true I pray for the crew.

If untrue, as it seems, someone should wake up in the brig.

Kapitan have a history of mixing up reality and his own imagined fleet adventurs in subsims...

I haven't seen anything from the Sun's website, either. And they don't tend to be the most reputable source to start with...
Last HMS was mentioned there however was this rather unflattering article: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...ticle87613.ece
Sure makes you worry about this time, huh...

Well, we'll see. It better not be true.

I'm sticking with my original claim on this. A tall tale in bad taste.

HMS Marlborough was a Type 23 frigate that was decommissioned years ago. In fact she was sold to the navy of Chile in 2006 or 2007.

This thread is a load of poo poo!

And even a reporter at the Sun should be able to run the text through spell checking and get rid of some "thier" etc...

Kapitan what are you playing at? This is pretty sick as one of your scenarios...

Cant find anything on this story anywhere. Including 'offical' channels.

Either its been covered up or the OP is full of it.
