The operation by Royal Marine Commandos took 6 hours, now the vessel will be moved to an anchorage off the South Coast.
The Prime Minister called it a blow to Vladimir Putin’s war with Ukraine.
In a week when defence spending has dominated the headlines, it’s a reminder the work of defending British interests continues.
