The ship names are absurd lmao. HMS Chiddingfold and HMS Bangor.

It's not a real country. They don't deserve to issue their own currency, the EU needs to invade immediately and force the Euro on them.

They’re made of fiberglass?! 😂 The Sun: SEA CRASH Sailors battling to stop Royal Navy warship sinking after another reversed into it

It is made from fibreglass instead of steel to counteract the threat from magnetic mines.

Soon they will be made of wood again.
