> Why commit such brazen sabotage with a spy ship?

That part seemed odd to me too.

Spy folks aren't the ones conducting sabotage? If one division has installed apy equipment then surely they don't want that fact plastered all over documents, so perhaps the sabotage guys just saw a suitable ship in the harbor and presuaded/replaced the crew?

Doesn't look good either way though.

The way I read it, this is reportage from a person who worked with the ship about things which happened some months ago. There is nothing to say this equipment was still on board.

> They said no further equipment returned to the ship after it was offloaded for analysis, to their knowledge
