        Surprised to see Writers go. You would nearly have to drag them out kicking and screaming from their cushy, non sea going jobs.

              Yes , normally not a sea going post.(apart from foreign trips) they would run over you trying to get up the gangway.
              At sea in my time SBA(medic) would help Cox`n do that type of work.
              Eithne was first ship if i am correct to have writer on board,don`t know if they were happy with that .
              What do you mean abandon ship
              Are they taking requests?

                            Capt. Paul Keaney retired after almost 30 years on the 18th Sept. With the embargo in place both the Operations Command and Support Command are being led by Commanders.

                              Is the Flag also due to retire shortly? Will they let a commander hold tha flag Job? Where else would you see a Lt Col holding a Generals appointment??


                              Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

                                What will happen will be the senior officer will become Commanding Officer Naval Service CONS as was the case with the last Flag Officer, a position he held for a number of months before being promoted to Commodore. This was the title held by the senior Naval Officer before 1979 and was sometimes referred to as the Director of the Naval Service
