Great British naval victory in the Gulf -:)
(B2) I'm not sure this is an extraordinary advance in the fight against piracy. But British Army comms found a way to warn the press of a major British naval advance in the Gulf. Also we learn that the HMS Monmouth, which is currently deployed in the international coalition in the Arabian Sea, has succeeded in firing flares at night. With great success: the firing accuracy rate was achieved with more than 3600 rounds of 7,62 mm caliber used. GOOD... This did not prevent the pirates from capturing, in a few days, two ships flying the British flag, one of which was in the Arabian Sea. In any case, it makes a beautiful photo. And that's probably more gratifying than the press releases announcing the death of a British soldier in Afghanistan (one every two days currently).
