On a lighter note, I'm also intrigued that no one has pointed out either the "Black Labs Matter", or that there are unlikely to be any 17 year old LACs, whatever their creed or colour.

You may not have a dog in the fight old boy, but you certainly have a few pussies! It would seem that Nigger was a common name for a ship’s cat if they were black...

If you want to find Nigger from HMS RECLAIM then the cat’s grave is in
300 ft of water in Taormina Bay. Turn to page 9 of the following link: http://www.mcdoa.org.uk/RN_Diving_Ma...Vol_4_No_2.pdf
Then of course there is always HMS NIGER, 8 of them to be exact - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Niger
So, standby for history cancelation. Indeed, I believe that various Boards of the tri-Services need to watch a bit of Jonathan Pie to understand what they are doing...
