«Breaking News» Royal Navy scrambles a frigate to intercept a Russian warship as it sails into the English Channel

A Russian warship is being tailed in UK waters after the Royal Navy scrambled a frigate to the English Channel.

The Royal Navy frigate HMS St Albans rushed out to open waters after an alert came in.

The Portsmouth-based Type 23 frigate is currently tasked with protecting UK waters and has been activated to keep watch on Russian Slava-class cruiser Marshall Ustinov.

St Albans deployed her Merlin helicopter to observe the movements of the task group as they navigate the south coast of the UK.

HMS St Albans was scrambled to the English Channel after Russian Marshall Ustinov sailed in 

Commander John Cromie, the Commanding Officer of HMS St Albans, said: 'As the fleet ready escort, HMS St Albans is held at high readiness to respond to any foreign warship that might represent a potential threat to the integrity of UK waters.

'In this instance the interaction between St Albans and Marshall Ustinov has proven both cordial and professional, reflecting the mutual understanding of customs that exist between professional mariners.

'My crew are however trained to the very highest standard and are prepared to respond to any eventuality.'

A Royal Navy statement said: 'The Russian unit – accompanied by an auxiliary ship and tug – recently left the Mediterranean and was tracked by allied French naval warships through the Bay of Biscay.

'As the current Fleet Ready Escort, HMS St Albans is the Royal Navy's very high readiness ship which is charged with protecting the integrity of UK waters.

'And she was therefore prepared to monitor the Russians as they entered the Channel, taking over the watch from the French warships.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
