There's a very interesting double game going on here. While the FCO keeps repeating the lines about routine deployment and not commenting on submarine movements, senior officers in the RAF and RN have obviously been given a nod and a wink from someone at the MOD to make deployments, and comments upon them.

The British government is presenting a diplomatic and principled face to the world at large whilst allowing the military to dance a Hakka off the coast of Argentina.
