True but we already have three of these type 45's.

Another coming this year and two more in the following two, then after that they'll move onto the two aircraft carriers, elizabeth and prince charles i think?

I love these ships, and would love to see what they're capable of, but i doubt the argies would be that foolish this time around.

They'll really get a spanking otherwise.

Why don't we just send William down to wave his chopper at them?

What?

NOT that kind of "chopper"??

Oh, sorry.............

We have a moral duty to protect and support the Falklands.

Can't think why they are shouting about Prince William being down there as being militariily provocative.

He is there as a search and rescue pilot and someone should remind them that those helicopters are not armed!

Agreed.
send his brother down there in an apache - that might be construed as provocative!
