"He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."

Originally posted by EUFighter View PostThe STANFLEX modules are a very specific design, not even matching an ISO standard. They are design to fit inside a special mission bay and cannot just be bolted onto a deck. Even if they could they only contain a weapons system and without the necessary sensors and control systems they are useless. Upgrading the P60 class beyond their current capability would need first to look at a whole package of measures.

Safe at least. Saw a video last night on BBC news via Orla Guerin from Tripoli where she got unfettered access to a migrant holding camp in a mostly enclosed warehouse. There were some thousands rounded up both on arrival from SubSahara and interestingly hundreds who were turned back at sea by the EU trained Libyan CG. The women and children are held in a separate facility. She spoke to some of them telling stories of ill treatment and starvation. The recorded meal distribution was a 6" bread roll and a one person pat of Flora or similar. Drinking water controlled and only issued. Some held up there bread rolls in defiance, making "is this it" gestures. The Libyans are pissed off as the "Prisoners" need repatriation but nobody is leading the process. Job for UN ?

With Niamh staying down till just before Christmas is this the latest we've been in the Med? Thought before we ended October/November period, and also with moving to Sophia are we going to be maintaining a year round deployment or is Niamh going to be the last till Spring next year?

Pontius closed during winter for us as few made the crossing. Sophia has a different mission and plucking survivors from the med in small boats is no longer the primary role.
Weather conditions will no lo get play as much of a part.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.
