Britain's Navy Defeated By Rocks

Britain’s Channel 4 News reports: “There’s no getting away from the comedic value of the grounding of Britain’s supposedly most stealthy submarine. The HMS Astute is not living up to its name, stuck off the Isle of Skye waiting for high tide to refloat, hopefully while we’re on air tonight. If that doesn’t work it could take days. We don’t know what happened — did they misread the tide? Were they in a cloud of ‘morning after the night before’ the day after Trafalgar Day traditionally sees naval celebrations? An investigation will follow, possibly punishments. It couldn’t have come at a worse time of course — amid aircraft carrier controversy, massive military cutbacks and now submarine ridicule.”
