You're not seeing all of it there either. There's still another quarter of it behind where the camera starts.

Hoping to go down to pompey when it gets there, we have a serving Cdr in our RNA branch who's on the project team

From experience (many years ago, I know but), if it is still in the basin and the ships company are living on board, and its a ferking big bugger, that is a long trek to the shore heads .


Night heads anyone?

@Montigny-La-Palisse does that put you on notice for potential sea time?

You know we just used to give it to the chefs for cooking chips, right?

The hangar - if you have ever stood in the old CVS hangar: double it and a half and almost again acrossways. Maintenance areas front and back as well. It is massive.

And shore heads - the MBR's and integrated Waste Management System is up and running. So no 'shitting in a rag and dropping it in the basin'. Everything you don't want is ground up, smashed up, dried and pyrolised.

@Levers_Aligned I see you talk of dry rock toilet routine with experience?

3 Basin in Pompey lost about a foot of depth in the 'pocket' when Fife was in there in 1986.

Call me Anchor Faced, but I am proud looking at this fine new addition to the RN.
