A single frigate? OK, probably more a training cruise/Let's f**k with the Americans than a show of force but GCHQ and the Daily Mail would like you to think of it as one because scary, what with Putin being an unpredictable madman and all.

It might get a shot off, but there would be no bragging about it on the next port call.
