Best/worst holds?
The topic is often discussed, but I've not seen many direct references.
Way back in the last century I had to hold whilst waiting for a new course to arrive for BFT on 705 at Culdrose.
After some faffing, I was sent as a supernumery to HMS Sabre, a fast patrol/training boat based at Portland. Her prime role was to simulate Excocet bearing Russian fast attack forces for ships "working up".
With two Avon gas turbines consuming a gallon a minute at 45 kts, and an open bridge she was, even for a WAFU, quite good fun.
Your stories of boredom or exhilaration whilst waiting for HM's training machine to catch up, please!
