The Royal Navy's newest and largest attack submarine HMS Astute has run aground off Skye, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has confirmed.Described as the stealthiest ever built in the UK, the boat was being out through sea trials and was not armed.
In the RAF we had a saying about the Royal Navy, not very polite but it boiled down to:"Couldn't find their own arse with a searchlight ~ give us a call and we'll fly out and tell 'em where they are"It seems nothing has changed in 30 years.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-11605365QuoteThe Royal Navy's newest and largest attack submarine HMS Astute has run aground off Skye, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has confirmed.Described as the stealthiest ever built in the UK, the boat was being out through sea trials and was not armed.
