Caution: As the buoys marking the shoals are often out of position, mariners are cautioned to be on their guard when navigating these shores.

The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan to suppress Muslim insurgency.
Israel laid seige to Beirut in order to force out the Palestine Liberation Army.
Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands (a.k.a. Malvinas Islands) in 1982 to gain possession of them from
the British. The British Prime Minister at the time was
Margaret (Maggie) Thatcher- the "Iron Lady". There is some speculation as to whether or not Mrs. Thatcher was ever
in possession of a sense of humor and it can be inferred that she certainly failed to find any in Galtieri's efforts. England fought back.
This resulted in the (rather brief) Falkland Islands War. During the encounter, a British guided missile sunk the Argentine battleship General Belgrano -
which probably did very little for Galtieri's sense of humor.
