Neutrality Irish style as NATO sub arrives in Cork

cork | anti-war / imperialism | news report

Friday May 23, 2008 19:17

by John Jefferies - Anti War Ireland - Cork Harbour

Cobh, Co. Cork

(086) 3004573

Report this post to the editors

A NATO submarine has arrived in Cork Harbour this evening.

First sighting of the Dutch sub

First sighting of the Dutch sub

The HNLMS Walrus (S802) passed Cobh around 6.45pm this evening on its way to Cork city where it will berth at the North Custom House Quay which is by now well established as a high-security berth for foreign military ships.

At almost 68 metres (223 feet) long and displacing 2,350 tonnes, the Walrus has four 21 inch (533mm) torpedo tubes which can launch US made Honeywell MK28 or MK37 torpedoes or SubHarpoon missiles.

Walrus S802 has been in the Mediterranean lately and is due to for refitting to bring it up to "21st century standards".

As the Irish people are once again told our neutrality is "safe" the presence of this NATO submarine in a sovereign Irish port is somewhat contradictory to say the least.
