HMS Penzance, a minehunter, was the scene of multiple arrests whilst docked in Dublin after a small group of activists appeared at the vessel to protest non-existent British arms supply flights to Israel.
As a Sandown Class minehunter, HMS Penzance is specially designed to neutralise underwater threats and clear shipping lanes, often working alongside Irish vessels to enhance the security of waters around the UK and Ireland.
The activists, part of a self-described Socialist Republican Organisation, claim they are “campaigning against Brit, EU and US Imperialism in Ireland”. Video footage shared by the group shows the incident.
[Boldy waving their terrorist flags protesting something that wasn’t happening in any event. Brilliant. As the wonderful Cmdr Salamander quipped:
There are pirates on Penzance.
You're welcome. https://t.co/XszvB9Jjr9
