I must protest

Call me a snob but the article from the Sub about the Royal Navy in my view should not have been put on the front page. It is the Sun, claptrap, crap. I hate it.

Someone should mention that half the ships mentioned are out dated and useless. Intrepid and Fearless, they still ran on old boilers IIRC..

Oh what a day when we rely on the Sun for defense news,

Okay, I get the hint. Ix-nay on The un-Say. (Some of us in the U.S. aren't familiar with the relative merits of UK newspapers).

Yeah, we tend to have a sort of newspaper hierarchy. The Sun is dogpoo under your shoe.
