A less well known resolution was passed to day from what I have heard in which all measures to protect civvies. This means peacekeepers are now authorized.

Far be it from me to go rah rah rah for a war when I've never and will never serve, but it sure seems like it couldn't happen to a nicer fellah.

love David camerons statement
"British Forces in action over Libya"
A flying Trafalgar class SSKN should be an interesting sight

Presumably Florida emptied the bulk of her VLS. She's been in that chunk of the Med recently.

See that's why we scrapped Harrier and kept Tornado, becuase Tornado can carry Stormshadow and generally carry more ordance further.
Saying that a carrier load of Harriers would be useful for close-in ground attack work.

Even so two surface ships and one sub is pretty piss poor compared to what the US and French navies have out there. Just shows how low we've sunk in the last few years. No good dreaming of carrier ops in 20 years time when you've got hardly enough afloat to deal with today's problems.
