I also imagine getting insurance quotes for a warship can be kinda tricky  .  .  .

You shoudl see the leaked transcript from the conversation between the Tanker and the Frigate.  Makes for entertaining reading.

 

Yes, you'd assume insuring a Frigate would be difficult but supposedly its the norm, at least in Norway. Unfortunately this fairly newly build Frigate was not. 

 

I pass it quite regularly as its on a secure base in Ågotness. I head past it on my way to FMC which is on the same base. Its a patched up stripped out hulk now.

Isn't it interesting how Russia occupying majority ethnic Russian regions of Ukraine garners such outrage from the western world. Those regions broke away in 2014 because of the western backed overthrow of the legitimate government, and implementation of an anti-Russian, ultranationalist backed regime, who's goal ever since has been to join NATO/EU and place US bases on the Russian border.

On the flip side, our squeaky clean western countries have been supporting the Saudi/Al Qaeda led genocide in Yemen. That doesn't garner outrage apparently. Go figure

If Ukraine wants to live in peace then they should not poke the Bear.

Out of interest after 9-11 did  you think the US had that coming having 'poked the middle east' ?
