BTW, 03 March Ex-Aoife will finally receive her new name, together with all the other major Units at Maritime Squadron. Don't want to do a spoiler at this stage but watch this space...Last edited by Medsailor; 21 February 2017, 09:12.

She's currently having a GENSET overhaul and will be back at sea in a few weeks.
