‘Today we proved that Apache can operate effectively from a Royal Navy ship, transporting munitions from the ship’s magazine, aircraft upload, launch, firing and then recovering to HMS Ocean,’ commented Maj Mike Neville, commander of the 656 Squadron onboard HMS Ocean.
Now who is banging a kettle here?
US Army aircraft have been doing that sort of thing for decades now. Even cutsy little Kiowas dunnit. I wonder if the Apaches are flying around at naught feet in the dark while they do this...as hiding from Zeus's requires that.
If they are an integral part of the Ocean....what kind of hat, hat badge, and uniform are they wearing? Do the Army types stand to toast the Queen aboard ship? How does one determine the seating arrangement in the Ward Room.....do the Ruperts bring their Serviette Rack along with them? This makes for an interesting situation I bet?
