A classic example of TRUE irish humour ...

I think the Irish radio operator must have been drunk if he claims this is 'ACTUAL' as we have never had an aircraft carrier called Britannia. In '95 we didnt have
3 cruisers (and still dont) and the same joke has been around for years but is about a US carrier and a Canadian lighthouse -

Only an idiot would believe this .... Oh we're talking about the Irish ..... carry on Idiot!
