German 1: Private Schnutz, I have bad news for you.
German 2: Private? I am a general!
German 1: That is the bad news.
GB Shaw departed Appledore a few minutes ago en route to sea trials.

Wonder when we will hear more about the proposed EPV / MRV / Hospital ship / Eithne's replacement ?
"He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."
How long would the Shaw be expected to take on trials? I honestly can't remember how long the others took.
Rarely more than 5 days, then teturn to drop off shipyard workers, and straight home.

Vessel exceeded 25 knots during trials today. All appears to be going as planned.

Or you could just 'pressgang' the dock yard workers and sail home ......to offset recruiting shortages.
From the photos another fine looking vessel even without her turret up front.
Time for another break I think......
According to ais, p64 reached speeds of 38.5 knots yesterday pm during short burst high speed trials?? 28.5 i could believe as p62 achieved near enough that when her vibration problems were sorted out.
I'm putting it down to either an error on AIS or else you are looking at the track of one of her Rhibs, which seem to be hovering around Ilfracombe. (P64A MMSI 111111642).
George Bernard Shaw is MMSI 250004884 and is doing laps of Lundy.

"Let us be clear about three facts:First of all.All battles and all wars are won in the end by the Infantryman.Secondly the Infantryman bears the brunt of the fighting,his casualties are heavier and he suffers greater extremes of fatigue and discomfort than the other arms.Thirdly,the art of the Infantryman is less stereotyped and harder to acquire than that of any other arm".

Well, government doesn't stop just because the country's been destroyed! I mean, annihilation's bad enough without anarchy to make things even worse!
