The boat's name is 'Maverick', and these three lads live up to its name. They do it service. They do us all proud.
Russian aircraft carrier ship Admiral Kuzketzov and battlecruiser Peter the Great were pictured off Kent's coastline this morning, reportedly en route to the Syrian city of Aleppo.
Of course, some medias reported this as another nail in the WWIII coffin. The British Navy closely monitored them as the vessels were accompanied by numerous other British warships, too, but no one accounted for this savage trio.
It's another example of Russia flexing its muscles and proving its power, not needing to go anywhere near British waters but doing so anyway.
WWIII wasn't, and isn't, coming. But Nigel Scutt and his two pals Chris Webb and Thomas Packham didn't know that. And they were ready to take their 28-foot motorboat to the fight and say: 'You know what, you come on our land and we will destroy you'. It was a Linda ISIS moment.

The Mirror reports that skipper Chris braced the choppy waters and headed out to catch a glimpse of the intimidating frigates, with Nigel desperate to have a go at them. He'd had an Irn Bru.
They went right up close and sent out a call saying: 'Go on then son, you aven't seen nothing yet. You wan sum'?
Ok, so they didn't say that, but it will still pretty brazen.
Nigel, from Dover, a maritime researcher and photographer, felt compelled to go out and see it for himself, taking his captain and pal along for the ride. He explains that it's been quite a mission to see the ships.

"We'd been trying to track the flotilla since it left at the weekend but it's been quite difficult.
"But I said to the guys they're not going to do that and I put my money on them passing at 10am.
"It got to after that time and I was snapping and snarling because I thought we'd missed them."
"It was absolutely awe-inspiring."
Chris, steering the boat, gave no shits, passing right between the two Russian vessels. Nigel continued: "We went right up between these huge warships. It really was unique.
"When you look up and see the planes on the deck you start to think to yourself 'maybe we are a bit too close'."
Nigel has been taking pictures of ships since he was 12 and got a few awesome ones for his website.
