    Lot's of pointy bits are ready to pop out all over the place!! Just like the new F22 Raptor aircraft which stows it's deadly payload inside the body to avoid detection by radar of aforementioned 'pointy bits' [8-|][;)

  2. WCS, a boat/ship is usually taken on sea trials after
    launching.  Typically these trials would occur after construction, but
    before handing over to the first owner, or following a refit or major
    modification to the vessel.  Such trials will establish whether the
    performance of the vessel meets the contractual requirements in terms
    of speed and handling. HMS Daring was expected to do about 28/9knots. She's done 30knots on ONE engine so far!!

    fivetide that tub is a floating weapons platform!! There's a nice wee 4.5 inch Mk 8 Mod 1 naval gun for you!! [;)]

  3. She wouldn't have been in Lerwick and the tugs were there to maneuver here off the slip and back town to the Tail O the Bank.

    F310 Fridtjof Nansen of the Norweigan Navy might have been the one you seen?

    Andy, you know me.....any port in a storm................oh that's right it, it was sunny today......[:o][;)

  4. Neil, you did and I appreciate that, thanks.

    It's an issue that could be resolved rather simply but as usual the SIDC like to make a fuss.

    I'm happy to oblige and do not have a problem where anyone wishes to be an RO.

    Again, I provided a fact and have experience of people having MAJOR difficulties in who done what around here.

    Keep up the good work everyone.
     

  5. "I am happy to re moderate you" For what, to keep everyone else happy?

    Frenchy I was not having a dig at you but the fact that this issue has been raised before.

    How simple would it be to drop the 'Strathclyde' name? Instead you get all the usual suspects pointing out that I am creating problems when I am merely stating the obvious.

    I'm sure Del is happy you are covering his area too Ally.

    Keep it up guys as I've been there before remember.
