I seem to recall the government chartered ships at short notice when the Falklands war took place, this included car ferries.Do you think that the surprise invasion of the Falklands, is similar to the current situation, following a vote nearly 3 years ago? Half of the civilian ships used were requisitioned, not chartered. Requisitioning the vessels meant they could escape ongoing contracts.
It appears all the Ro-Ros were STUFT, ships taken up from trade.

I was simply making the point that these things can be found when required, of course there is no comparison with the two issues, one was far better organised than the present farce.
