I was quite surprised to see that too, however the link was in fact dead when I tried it, although a page with that story can still be found on a pro BNP website I tracked down, which I think was called something like 'the green arrow', or a name similar to that, certainly don't intend to frequent that site so didn't commit it to memory. I suspect that a lot of people outside of the UK would not be aware of the BNP's racist connotations, so I imagine that's why it showed up on the links page, being sort of a naval story.

As it turns out, the BNP are jumping on the recent 'RN could not fight a major war' comments, and the poor showing of the crew captured by the Iranians a while back, to tout their pseudo patriotic nonsense. I daresay a few will fall for it too.
