| | Scotland on Sunday - Navy all at sea as fisherman nets submarine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) |
 | | When John Baker found the £750,000 remote-controlled submarine, missing from HMS Penzance, the Royal Navy denied it was theirs until he politely pointed out the letters MoD were printed on the side. |
 | | However, on closer inspection, Baker, from Port Ellen on Islay, realised it was actually a remotely operated mini Royal Navy submarine, primarily used to hunt for mines in hostile waters. |
 | | Baker hooked the mini-sub to his fishing boat, the Harvester, and towed it back to port, landing it with the help of expensive winching gear. |
