Student Michael Blown found a sensitive Royal Navy document lying on a pub table in Portsmouth. The document lists every planned movement of the HMS St Albans, a Type 23 Frigate, until the end of 2007, including the ship's patrols in the Middle East. The document was marked "restricted" and warns servicemen that the information must not be "divulged to anyone" outside their immediate family. The lapse could have left British Royal Marines and sailors open to an attack similar to the suicide bombing of USS Cole in 2000, which killed 17 sailors. The Navy may now be forced to change the ship's schedule. Mr. Blown gave the document to the Mirror, which handed it over to the MoD, without publishing any exact details.
