Bad day at work

A coworker forwarded this to me, with this caption:

"AND YOU THINK YOUR HAVING A BAD DAY AT WORK !!

"Although this looks like a picture taken from a Hollywood movie, it is in fact a real photo, taken near the South African coast during a military exercise by the British Navy.

"It has been nominated by Geo as 'THE photo of the year'."

Based on the caption's grammar, and the photo looking like it's been saved & edited & resaved & resaved again in a different format and inserted into a Word document (which is how it was sent to me), I'm not sure this is at all accurate, or if it's even just Photoshopped. But I thought it a cool pic.

Oh well. At least I questioned its authenticity.

I didn't even think to check w/ Snopes for a possible Photoshopping, just urban legend stories and forwards. Thanks dhamsaic.

Eh, I've read just about everything to read on snopes, so this popped right out at me. :)
