I wonder what will happen to the rather nifty geo-tracking satellite TV receiver the ship's company paid for and got installed? Used to enable UK TV to be piped throughout the ship no matter where in the world she sailed - great morale booster. Was also a great 'gotcha' on the EW recce test when asked to identy what was under the non-descript satcom type dome on the front deck area. Always admired their reading of the '2 drinks' rule - if you divide all the drinks you consumed by the total number of days on the trip and then add 2 for every 'cross-mess' hosting event - as long as the answer was 2 or less - you were ok! Shame all that experience will shortly be dispersed and diluted.
