During one post-flight inspection in November 2011, it was discovered one jet had sustained “bubbling (and) blistering” of its stealth coating, according to the documents obtained by Defense News.

It's so good you can't even see the planes, there's row upon row of them, hundreds of them and in a real coup for the intelligence services we managed to convince the world we were daft enough to build aircraft carriers and not have any planes to pur on them when they were stuffed with stealth planes

Re: Iran-US crisis
Reports now say two British navy vessels (Tankers) have been seized by Iran, in the Strait of Homuz. Emergency Cobra meeting currently in process. U.S President Donald Trump has said in the last half hour that he is talking with the UK and work with us on this developing news story.

No, it isn’t - it’s time to ascertain what’s happening, and try not to escalate things.

No, we don’t - we know what’s being reported (often conflicting reports).
As we have found in the past, what is reported and what is happening often are different things.
