Cute

The Belgian Navy recently acquired a new frigate, baptized the Leopold I; and it's leaving soon on a training trip. The TV news just had an interview with the captain of this vessel, who declared that the function of a frigate is to protect "other vessels"; one of the examples he gave was "a carrier vessel".

What he neglected to mention is that the Belgian Navy, in all her glory, doesn't have any carriers. In fact, it doesn't have any ships that are larger than frigates.

But hey, at least this frigate has a helicopter pad, so maybe it qualifies.

Then again, maybe not.
