Just heard that after a long stint serving in the Gulf, the largest destroyer in the current naval fleet, H.M.S. Konanda is coming to Plymouth for a full re-fit securing over 250 jobs!

In it's current state H.M.S. Konanda destroyer has one of the largest guns currently in operation with a barrel equivalent to a twenty inch neck!

It's nice to get some positive news given the current dockyard insecurities!

Yes, many of the crew are suffering from radiation burns

Does it have the capability to stalk smaller, lighter prey?

Partially, but due to the length of service that is required it's difficult to get rid of the radioactive waste, if it sits there too long it would glow in the dark!

I heard it was coming in for a complete overhaul. Having a massive wing like thing bolted to the top so the raf can fly planes off it.

Captain Trucnut whilst talking about the ship was quoted as saying 'It's difficult to get a good quality of service, this why we have selecteced Plymouth with it's glowing recommendations.
She is a very hardy vestle but you need to rule her with an iron sword or she will get the better of you!'

I'd be gobsmacked if this ship sailed into Plymouth.
