RE: Rice Steamer

It was an odd thing - they were on the surface when they did it - apparently loads of islanders woke up to see one of the Royal Navy`s most modern nuclear subs stuck!

Then when a tug pulled it off whatever it was stuck on they did millions (I think) damage to the rudder section. I expect BAE were rubbing their hands with glee!!

They had a load of shots of it on TV - blowing tonnes of smoke through a type of snorkel or exhaust pipe which came out of the conning tower - if I didnt know it was nuclear I would have said the Big End had gone on the crank shaft.

A slight drawback with those islands - Alastair Darling (our former Treasury Minister) has a crofters cottage there.
