Navy Seal

Post by Horwood Beer-Master » Wed Apr 17, 2013 12:27 pm

The BBC wrote:A seal has boarded a Royal Navy amphibious-assault ship as it was about to carry out military exercises near Carnoustie.

HMS Bulwark was making preparations for the multinational training exercise Joint Warrior when the seal swam up the ship's landing dock.

The animal sat and watched the crew for about half an hour.

It was only when an officer approached the seal that it swam away.

Air Aviation Officer, Lt Sarah Filshie, said: "It's rather unusual to have a seal actually come on board, but he seemed very inquisitive and interested in what we were up to.

"He stayed for about half-an-hour before one of the other officers approached him to see if he needed any help getting back into the water, and then he just turned around and went back out again."

NK spy. Watch out over there.

True that. Won't find that much blubber on anything other than a NK leader, not a lowly spy.

Requesting an invasion of Greenland I suppose.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

It was only when an officer approached the seal that it swam away.
Clearly, it recognised the true importance of the officer class... :smug:

Would it have got one from you non-officer types, or simply an offer of beer and/or sex?
