RN Sub run aground
Since it's a bit late for a 'bead window' moment, would someone explain the crap belching out please. No, not the posts, the smokey stuff from the sub!

CO and XO may have completed Perisher, but I doubt they will be driving a sub in the future. Time for a career change, but unfortunatly it will be involuntary.

...the CO would have been presented with a wooden toilet seat which had been painted with glue and had sand sprinkled copiously on it. This would have been hung around his neck as the "Grand Order of the Gritty Bottom" and he would be buying the drinks.
The "crap coming out of it" gives the clue that it's not REALLY nuclear powered it's like an old Clyde puffer - coal powered.

Considering she's a new boat, it looks like a little bit of elbow grease applied to all that green, gungy stuff on the hull wouldn't go amiss. Standards seem to be slipping; someone needs keel-hauling.

Bit worrying about all the smoke she is venting

The smoke will be the exhaust plume from the back -up diesel.
Just for Widger.
Strange but true:
During World War 2 Britain designed and built a parachute system for a submarine. OK it was a small submarine, a one man affair called the Welman, but they really were serious about dropping by parachute, with its crewman aboard as well. However, sense prevailed and the idea was only used for an exploding motor boat.

The Skipper can always play this little number when he visits The Admiralty, the first line being particularly apt......

BBC "News" tonight Four ringer "Spokesman" captioned as Commander XXX. This from an ex crab 
Doubt if anyone on the BBC, including its defence correspondents, has the slightest clue about military ranks.
