QUOTE:
"For all the talk about which high-tech weapons systems the British
military might have to do without as the country slashes budgets to
reduce its debt, officers in the Royal Navy must be glad they still have
tugboats and ropes at their disposal, since those were what they were
using Friday to try to dislodge a nuclear submarine that ran aground
just yards off the coast of Scotland."
Thus ends a captain's career.
You gotta love the name. HMS Astute -- not astute!
