The Battle of Taranto of our times. Militaries around the world will be analysing with fear or hope

Perhaps it is unachievable. Perhaps the gap in planning and technical abilities is too big. But I dearly hope that one day NATO is allowed to join Ukraine.

It was 1995. But still seared into my memory

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months.
