Spithead Review: 1912

A hundred years ago, Britannia was undisputed mistress of the seas.  Now, we can't even keep one miserable frigate on patrol off Somalia.

Somewhere the shades of Drake, Nelson, Cochrane, Fisher and Churchill are shedding angry tears of flame.

A slight error

Somali pirates attack a defenceless merchant ship only to discover that it was HNLMS Tromp.

And didn't they end up feeling silly.
