    Lusty all the way

    Why? Invince was a shithole, Ark smelt of polish and paint. Lusty was a happy medium ️


    And not this happy medium!

    Whats the difference between Invince and a hedgehog????

    My best ship ... Manchester. Happiest ship I was ever on ... and yes for a Doc I did go to sea not just on the IOW ferry!

    Turbulent or Torbay although I never had a gash mess on any boat, just some gash running.

    Nottingham 00-03 without a shadow of doubt although every ship I've had (even the 23') has been pretty good.

    Turbulent without a doubt...96 through to early 99. Seriously good crew, for a seriously professional business.

    Pick a Type 21 - 5 drafts to 4 of 'em, all great.
    Active twice so that's the winner.

    This has been done before...mine was HMS Cavalier 57-59. My first time in the Far East. An H bomb test and runs ashore at so many wonderful places that I'll never forget. Can I go back and do it all again please ? lol

    Same here for 21s.
    You got me beat mind you. Just the 3 for myself.
    Active, Amazon and Alacrity.

    Would have to vote for Alacrity as the best draft. As a PO Chippie it was the dogs. Great mess great runs ashore.
    Plus less shit as a SR.

    Was pretty good on Global 86 once we had a change of skipper.
    The first was a real short assed Napoleon complex tosser.

    Ellis iirc.
