The perfect STOM
Article Abstract:
The probability for disaster may be exaggerated but the incident of UK Royal Marines (RM) which was left abandoned with no armour support specifies the drawback in ship to objective manoeuvres (STOM), the capacity to acquire comparatively lighter armour like the CVR (T)s ashore. It is stated that solving such problems will avoid such offloads in future and will not have to undergo the similar difficulties.
