Colin Clarke – Factoring in pirates

If you go through somewhere like the Malacca Straits, then you’ve got to think about pirates who even attack submarines on the surface.

So you’ve got a whole set of Drills and Procedures for your own submarine’s Ship’s Company to deal with that activity, so if you were just on the surface coming up the Channel, you’re not thinking about pirates, but if you’re out that neck of the woods, you’ve  got to factor that in to your Operating Procedures, so that happens as well.
