#5 "We will lay off their largest city, and listen to their rock and roll while we conduct missile drills." 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. |

#4 I'm sure at least a couple of our SSNs have been following it since it hit open water. It might get a shot off, but there would be no bragging about it on the next port call. |
