      Good to see that they can't even scrub the ship's sides because of the maintenance contract with Vosper Thorneycroft... and a big stupid civvy anchor, not even Admiralty Pattern! Even the RN have sold out!

        The Initial lease to the RN expired last year, So im not sure if Mersey is still VT property or if the RN purchased it outright or extended the lease again.

        Mersey was also the very last RN vessel to be constructed here in Southampton.

                The bridge seems a level too low on those ships.

                        About the same level as the Peacock class.

                          Maybe it's the amount of superstucture above the bridge level, just doesn't look right.
