If it's 2004 that might be Traf in the dock next to her, I left Traf in 2003 in dock after we stuck the nut on a bit of Scotland and trashed 1 and 2 MBT!Just covering bases before people start dripping that the crane is gone or something else has changed.
Being in my late 40s they aint that old for me either, though early 2000s is now almost a quarter century ago (it does still seem like last week......)

Fladda chuain to be preciseSkye?

On spartan we had a duff 10ton alarm back after, we had a few EM surfaces, it got to the stage of which panel operator had not done one? Skippers local order, no emergency surface for back aft ten ton, unless backed up by a manual alarm, this was all going on during work up, we asked the Staff were we going to do an emergency surface, No with lack of humor. also during work up I was on the panel when I heard a comment from aft, smell of burning, being investigated, SCOOW, panel what are you doing, lining up to fight a fire art? Ok carry on, at this time Capt sea training entered control room watched what was happening, call our skipper in and said, I am not happy with your crew they are determined to get me on EBS. smell tracked to a damaged cable into a transformer, isolated and sorted. Capt Sea training then told skipper, very happy the way your crew handled that safeguard, no panic, calm and ready, if escalation required.Fladda chuain to be precise
I was on the panel, turned out to be my last one ever, a gen dit Emergency Surface with a manual flood alarm, although that was set off in error but I didn't know that at the time!
