It's a play on words....British humour

May I give some advice? Kill. Forget about anything else. Shoot now and ask questions later.

For every IED they ship over to our enemies, should result in a cruise missle hitting thier leaders and infrastructure. I still cant believe Brittian surrendered a gunship to them, and our own navy allows them to harass and threaten our ships on thier little speed boats. Its craziness.

What gunship?

Are you talking about the small inspection boat fitted with an outboard?

No, I'm refering to the big boat that the Iranians boarded to "inspect" for suspicion of smuggling so they claim.

I'm afraid I need something more detailed than 'gunship' and 'big boat'.

Those two references would suggest a warship (HMS - Her Majestys Ship).

A link to some info would be appreciated...I'm intrigued.

Two incidents he could be talking about:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Ir...Navy_personnel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Ir...Navy_personnel

In 2004 they captured some kind of riverine patrol boat. In 2007 they captured a Zodiac boat.

Yep, I remember those but it was the reference to 'gunship' and 'big boat' that had me wondering if I'd forgotten about some frigate or destroyer we'd lost
