Britain Shows the Flag

HMS Sutherland is in Sydney Harbour after war games with the Australian Navy.

The British warship has just arrived in Sydney ahead of a highly publicised mission to assert navigation rights in the heavily militarised waters of the South China Sea.

Unfortunately you're the joke if you genuinely think the ship is there for any other reason than to help to establish navigation rights in international waters, I mean even you aren't that stupid.... although sometimes I do have my doubts.....

I thought perhaps it might go and locate Wolf rock - just like HMS Nottingham did.
