Nuclear submarine refused UAE entry

[Jimbuna]

I wonder what the problem was here

A nuclear submarine had to be diverted to India after it was refused entry to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

It is understood Plymouth-based HMS Tireless sat in international waters for more than a week while a replacement crew waited in the port.

Families of those on board who travelled to meet the crew had to return to the UK without seeing them.

The Royal Navy said it was only a "delay" and "not a safety issue". UAE authorities have not commented.

A week after the vessel was not given clearance, a decision was taken to dock in Goa.
