When do you get situations where warships are travelling alone without support vessels?
Yes the article was of interest thanks.

What planet are you from Roy? It states that we were on a war footing off shore to Cyprus. DC2 is cruising in a war zone and DC1 is action stations when action was imminent.

We cruised on our own all the time in the Med when going to and from Malta and Gibraltar and on patrol. The only time that we cruised as a battle fleet was to and from Chatham heading for the Med and during work up exercises before taking up station off Cyprus. We patrolled the north side of Cyprus and one of our sister ships did the south side. We were part of the 2nd Destroyer squadron that consisted of the Alamein, Corunna, Barrosa and Agincourt, who was captain “D”. Two ships on patrol, one off on jollies around the Med and one tied up in Gib, usually going through some sort of refit. But that was then. Today it may be different.

Now about that question that you so pointedly ignore. Cat got your tongue???
