I wonder how closely HMS Astute, Artful or Ambush are shadowing the Russian task force... assuming at least one of them is seaworthy that is.

Would be nice to think they could get as close as which ever Royal Navy submarine did to take photos of the Kiev's propellers way back in the Cold War (or should we now be referring to it as "Cold War I"?).

Given one of them ran into a tanker that was minding its own business in a Traffic Separation Scheme hopefully Thales will tweak the sensor systems a little before they're let out to play again.

I has a chuckle earlier. That carrier was being overtaken by it's own smoke!
