Just a little aside for you light blue people. It is a tradition of the Senior Service that on certain ceremonial occaisions The Ship's company will be refered to as "Duncans" the CO as Duncan. A couple of years back two boats held ceremonial divisions on consecutive days, to make life easy for the CT Staff and band. Parade number one , HMS Torbay went with out a hitch. The Parade being called smartly attention at the cry of "Torbay Approaching." The following parade briefly disolved into farce as the CO of HMS Talent arrived on the Saluting Base.
