Submarine..dead of night..20 minutes...

But who knows, just my opinion.

Sneaky. Definately doable. Definately Russian.

Random fact, I was sailing up the West Coast of Africa with HMS Liverpool while this was all going on, and secretly wondered whether they'd send us up there instead of getting home for christmas like what actually happened.

I was in Dakar or roundabouts at the time.

-- supplemental, even the ancient 20-something year old destroyer that she is, is armed with the 4.5 cannon and has a lynx helicopter, as well as a bunch of miniguns, 20mil cannons, and the phalanx CIWS.

An RPG has a range of about 500 metres or so.  Get within a few MILES of a destroyer/frigate and you're in trouble.
