I suspect the chap was not entirely sincere. The commentary makes much of remarks that ideas seem to be coming out in a manner akin to chaff from an aircraft under missile attack !

Why a Navy ship? There are plenty of large cruise ships available.

Well one reason for a naval frigate is that then you would only need ONE mine to sink it.

Using a larger cruise ships might actually mean it stayed afloat long enough for some tories to put on a life jacket and jump off. I can't see you approving of that ...

There are no navy ships big enough to accommodate the large numbers.
There is however a large cruise ship in Falmouth for an uknown length of time with no passengers on it.
