As you fly into the carrier , you open the door to find yourself half a mile from the ship because the Freddie has done your CCA/SCA (Carrier Controlled Approach/Ship Controlled Approach)
As you step onto the deck, genuine audio being broadcast every 30 seconds such as "RO Tate - Radar office", "Writer Letter - UPO" (Unit Personnel Office- the HR department)
As you enter the ship and take your lifejacket and helmet off you get swamped by an overwhelming stench of sweaty safety equipment
Above you there is a constant banging and rattling as the chain gang try to wake up the Fishheads, Stovies and Wobbleheads on defence watches.
You walk down to see the galley with a tray of half raw/half burnt roast potatoes.
You pass the gym with a muscle bound lad pinned to the floor as he is trying to do bench presses in a storm.
Into the hangar to see mannequins hosting a cocktail party with name tags such as Mike Oxlong.
You spy half a dozen aircraft with a strange sign saying "Queen" written on them
Back into the ship you spy two people making out in the chapel and then pass a boat bay filled with 100 sailors all tabbing away furiously.
Next you have a door titled Naval Stores with a "Closed for stocktaking" sign hanging off it.
You clear the smoke to go to the Ops Room and find an office adjacent with a fridge full of chocolate bars.
You then go to the gift shop and get yourself a nice pair of shoes and a suit made by an oriental looking chap who seems to be living like Harry Potter in a broom cupboard.
On your way out you find all your clothes including your underpants have been starched like cardboard and have strange writing indelibly marked on every item.
