HMS Queen Elizabeth

[GoldWithFalmer]

Cheers. I didn't know we'd borrowed a Canadian ship. Before my time as I was still a sprog then.

I was not even a twinkle

The Cod War?

I still think us veterans should of had a campaign medal

Against the massed ranks of a few fishery vessels and a bullish ship's cat called Lars.

 

[lawros left foot]

But he was a very vicious cat, and those cod could give you a very nasty nip

Cod Wars....I was on the good ship Venus...you know the rest of the song...
Type 15 anti-submarine frigate based at Plymouth. Ended up married to a Jenny Wren

We were rammed by the Thor...... the thought of being in that water was pretty scary at the time.

My nephew did 15 years on boats in Guzz, he has just left cos they are moving all the hunter killers to Faslaine and he doesn't want to be based in Scotland, with a home in Plymouth.


He probably knows my Brother in law he did work for while in Plymouth and I also attended his passing out ceremony missed the last ferry back from Torpoint a day late getting home about 30 years ago.if the Scottish vote is yes it will take a long time to relocate the subs?
But it will cost loads of Scottish jobs.

A lot of my former colleagues have been serving on U.S carrier flight decks for the last 3-4 years in order to get some experience in fixed wing flight deck ops.
