HMS Ocean - Britain’s Largest Warship in Dublin
Breakingnews.ie and every other news site:
The docking of Britain’s largest warship in Dublin is a shameful violation of Irish neutrality, the Dáil heard today.
The HMS Ocean drops anchor in the capital for a series of informal events including a reception for a British brewery looking to export to Ireland.
The military vessel was central to the assault on southern Iraq in the first three days of the 2003 invasion.

Yay, Lara Croft in Ireland!
Feshti's back and this time he's counting down the top 10 movie opening scenes of all time.
Is American opinion and culture crowding out all others?
Violation of neutrality? Hardly.
There was no talk of that when the USS JFK docked in Dublin about 10 years ago.

“series of informal events including a reception for a British brewery looking to export to Ireland.”
