rank | Tue Apr 07 20:10:31 Bwomming Iran is ILLEEEEEEEEEGAL!!! Lol The real reason is the UK is incompetent and can't even surge a single destroyer. There is also a rumor her air defense didn't work and a hezb missile got her. That seems unlikely and still bad, but less gay. |

rank | Tue Apr 07 20:39:17 What a scheduled maintenance stop in the based at cypress she's protecting and can continue to protect from dock? Are you fucking kidding me? It's not like she's dropped a couple of planes over the edge into the drink, bashed herself up on a cargo ship, caught fire that took the fire over 24 hours to subdue and had the toilets fail. |

Seb
rank | Tue Apr 07 20:41:10 *this is a general rule, but happens to be true on this incident too. |

jergul
rank | Tue Apr 07 20:41:13 You forgot "bumped into Ocean floor". |

Sam Adams
rank | Tue Apr 07 20:42:17 So after being deployed for like a week or 2 she needs a mx stop? Lmfao |

rank | Tue Apr 07 20:44:19 Do you get the feeling the UK is dragging its heels? I wonder why. Rofl. |

Sam Adams
rank | Tue Apr 07 20:47:52 Because starmer/seb are cowards and appeasers without a working navy? |
|
jergul
rank | Tue Apr 07 20:50:26 You feel like the UK is appeasing you? You do get that you are the Hitler in this analogy, right? |

jergul
rank | Tue Apr 07 20:51:14 Sure, Iran sucks and Poland was a crackpot dictatorship in 1939. Your point? |

Sam Adams
rank | Tue Apr 07 20:51:40 Lol the war is ILLEEEEEEEEEGAL cries jergul |

jergul
rank | Tue Apr 07 20:52:47 Absolutely. It is one of the reasons no one likes you any more. |

She was in dry dock for 6 weeks maintenance to go when the decision to deploy was made and expected to go into routine deployment in home waters after. They compressed that down to one week by deferring routine maintenance that could be deferred or completed in Cyprus (seems to be related to desal system) and kitted her out for sustained high intensity operations. All this crap from the daily mail and telegraph is just thinly veiled bullshit to attack the govt. from the same papers that championed the govt that cut us from 12 down to 6 DDs in the first place so they could give tax breaks to the CSams that have gone to live in Dubai and now expect us to fund their evacuations. |

Sam Adams
rank | Tue Apr 07 20:57:14 "She was pulled out of maintenance to deploy.” Yes. Because you don't have a working navy. Lol |

rank | Tue Apr 07 21:00:35 Bottom line, Dragon can track and shoot down drones and missiles aimed at Akrotiri while it's tied to the pier getting it's desalination plant serviced. It's not a big deal. |
|
Seb
rank | Tue Apr 07 21:06:00 NaMBLA: We do, it's just committed elsewhere, either patrolling the Atlantic keeping an eye on Russian sub activity or on exercises with the carrier strike group. To be honest you've missed the obvious point: why do we need to send a DD to shoot down drones in Akorotiri. We have land based systems and our jets providing air defence for gulf states operate out of there. As Jergul said, this is mostly so we can tell the US the RN is otherwise occupied while we wait for your stupid illegal war to burn itself out. |

rank | Tue Apr 07 21:11:36 It's ILLLEEEEEEEEEGAL Lol the crying of appeasers is like music to my ears. |

Sam Adams
rank | Tue Apr 07 21:14:50 "Dragon can track and shoot down drones and missiles aimed at Akrotiri while it's tied to the pier" There's much more ground clutter near a pier. Even a dunce like you should know that. |

rank | Tue Apr 07 21:28:44 NaMBLA: Both SBA's docks face out to the east med and the SAMPSON is on a mast 40 meters above the waterline. It's the most sophisticated and high performing search and tracking radar afloat. It's not going to get screwed up by a low harbour wall. It can happily detect and track Iran's flying lawnmowers across the eastern Mediterranean, and one of the great things about vertical launch is the missile climbs vertically and then orients rather than flying off the rail into the harbour wall. |
