Are those Harpoon silos in the bow or Vertical Launch Seawolf?

At least the ratings have got the regulation wave right!

Looks good to me. After all, that's number 28. Twenty eight new surface vessels is good. We seem to be giving away the type 45's faster than we can build them.
Am I getting old, or do servicemen look younger and younger these days.



And I hope you are happy with your spoof, it had me all excited reading the banner headline.

I'm glad to see that matey on the R has the honour not to obey the order, while one or two seem to have hidden behind as well.

Somebody had a perverse sense of revenge putting that shape into horizontal stripes.

Ironic seeing pics of that lot on this screen, and then on the TV the England Cricket team throwing in the towel without putting up so much as a whimper.

Not very reasuring to know that the front line has this as its thin red line, or if the Iranians are correct BEYOND the front line before anyone starts

Well, after 13 days in captivity with a bunch of "women are for babies boys are for fun" types waving their willys at your arse it'd be any port in a storm, through relief if nothing else.

Teeth

Didn't think some of them had ANY teeth at all - half the problem.

We can't look until we get home.

Judging by the salutes given by the crew in the first post above, it would seem to be crewed by the German Navy. Perhaps the latest "E-Boat"?
