Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising

IMHO the Type 45 is man enough to look after the FI.

Some beach areas are only accessable by penguins due to the mines kindly left by the Argies, so that area I'ld say was safe from a sea invasion.

Dare I say that we have a number of subs patroling the areas outside the Type 45's reach, giving it early warning should the need arise.

I just think we should moon at the argies from the west coast saying "come on if you think you are hard enough".

Logistically not an easy task with the numbers of aircraft need to do in-flight re-fueling.

So dare I say unless something major happens I doubt this would happen.
