Re: Old Ships in Retirement in Chile
What exactly is involved with sacking the skipper?
Is it out of the RN for good(ie dismissed), or was he just sacked from his job on the flotilla (back into the pool awaiting assignment)?Its Tally Ho!!!..... not.....theres the f**king fox.

Re: Old Ships in Retirement in Chile
Achilles/Bacchante were the last ships I served on...
Blimey! They've done well to last this long, given the state of them then!
Months spent in Gib on some kind of refit, swapping ships thing. Put me off the place for life.First they ignore you, then they mock you, then they fight you, then you win.

An unjust law is a code that a majority inflicts on a minority that is not binding on itself.
This is difference made legal.
On the other hand a just law is a code that a majority compels a minority to follow that it is willing to follow itself.
This is sameness made legal. . . .”

I was on the Norfolk for her last trip to Chille.

We was there when the argies invaded the falklands. Was the nearest warship for a 1000 miles.
Only had skeleton crew , not even any chaff onboard.
The masterplan from whitehall was that we sail around the corner and they would all run away.
Shame they didn't think about the exocet missiles up around Stanley which would have blown us to bits.!!!!!!!!!

What are Diplomatic Privileges as they apply to serving officers and ratings? Originally Posted by Jacko2
