    Westminster could do with a paint job, and that Merlin looks a bit oversized, which is interesting, given that the Naval Service's new EPV will be about the same size as Westminster.

      Looks like HMS Westminster has seen better days.

            Wasn't De Grasse the Frigate that carried out the Pre Delivery Deck Landing Training of the Dauphin, all those years ago?

            Three french Naval training vessels are also in cork this weekend. The usual type. Its been a long time since we saw something new from France.

                        Absolutely, the Type-23 frigate is still a very impressive ship. It must be a tight squeeze getting the Merlin into that hangar.
                        Cannon to right of them,
                        Cannon to left of them,
                        Cannon in front of them
                        Volley'd and thunder'd;
                        Storm'd at with shot and shell,
                        Boldly they rode and well,
                        Into the jaws of Death,
                        Into the mouth of Hell
                        Rode the six hundred.

                          Thanks Goldie. I had a feeling they might be training ships.

                              they are parked at the harbour together as well
                              Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
                              Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
                              The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
                              The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
                              The best lack all conviction, while the worst
                              Are full of passionate intensity.
