The UK lost a previous altercation over fishing, in the '70s, the 'Cod War' to Iceland!
I doubt the 2 on 2 off Royal Navy vessels will do much to prevent incursions into our claimed territorial waters. -
I find this kind of thing almost Python-esque. Like, the captain of the navy ship ordering his men to battlestations and setting a ramming course.
Is that meant to be a serious, meaningful threat - that the Navy are going spend time and resources chasing individual small French crabbing boats.
