Is it about the oldest warship afloat, or are we talking Roman ships here..?

Yes, it is still the flagship of the 2nd sea lord of the admiralty (Home fleet (like we have enough ships to have more than one fleet)).

Yes, the pride of the Royal Navy, arguably the worlds most successful Navy (stand by...), shares a harbour with, ahem, HMS Cornwall... :-[

Embaressing... At least the RFA Wave Knight had a damned good reason why they couldn't attack pirates (for fear of endangering the hostages)... HMS Cornwall- did you see the state of the crew? out of condition, pillocks.

The commander is pretty lacking in competence and judgement and they really seemed to lack any form of credibility... I HOPE the rest of RN isn't like that embaressment

It was only 2 years ago....

Another Q) Not really for the quiz, but just because it is bugging me...

"Why did British warships always have open bridges when every other navy enclosed them?"


EDIT: Just found an answer... Dubious, though it is. "To improve visibility!" Hmmm...
