Rough sailing today? The HMS York is shown being tailed by an enormous waterspout as she sails through the Mediterranean. The shot was taken from the HMS Edinburgh, which was about four miles away.
The sailor who took the shot said: "It was very dramatic. The skies darkened and we had a terrific hailstorm, with thunder and lightning. A first tornado was followed by three more tornados, drawing up humidity and showing themselves as white waterspouts."
