Mo.
Neither you or anyone else will believe this , but two nights ago I dreamed, something which I very seldom do, that a British destroyer rammed a British Aircraft carrier. Looks like two of those Admirals are going to get the bums rush.

Even those sank by enemy’s action was a court martial offence at one time, maybe still is. JS

I wonder if the US Navy have told the RN, keep your ships well away from ours seeing as you cannot get a vessel alongside without wrecking one of your own. Maybe the reason the RAF are having to fly 7 hours to bomb Yemen were the Americans are 30 minutes away?
