Monday 30th March 2020.

Dutch boat Dolfijn has had to withdraw from intended Joint Warrior 201 and COQC 'perisher' course due to 8 cases of Covid 19 and will return to Den Helder.

The Brits are heavily dependent on the Dutch and Norwegians for all their work in perisher and anti sub exercises and this will impact seriously.

At least we have a spare co sitting in Audacious at the mo doing not a lot. BAE have let the taxpayer down badly with her which will have dire consequences for the next 3 boats.
