Would love to see that teamed up with the Seaview.

These Navy Days...
Memories; how very very different from today's Navies.

Splicing rope or wire.
Manning the guns.
Small arms.
Sweeping mines.
Quartermaster; Bosun's Calls, and Helm.
Painting ship.
Holystoning wood decks.
Sleeping in a hammock.
Keeping lookout.
Knowing how to navigate, chartwork and sail.
Commando trained (by Royal Marines)
And that's just routine for an Able Seaman on various ships in the RN of 1950's-l960's.
Versatility.
Times move on...
Are these new ships, ships at all?
I guess I'll have to go aboard one and find out.

Sigger's Law

  • Sigger's Law: "As any discussion on terrorism grows longer, the probability of attributing terrorists with nuclear weapons (or similar destructive capabilities) approaches 1." Corollary to Sigger's Law: "Once such an observation is made, the discussion is finished and whoever mentioned terrorist possession of nuclear weapons has automatically lost whatever debate was in progress."
