Be careful about galleys on ships. They need access to discharge grey water from the Galley sinks, which means port or starboard side location but the galley cooker can weigh a few tonnes and has to be compensated for elsewhere on the ship. Irrespective of internal work, a long lay up requires the engines and propulsion to be run up on Harbour trials, followed up by adjustments and full sea trials, all to validate work done and paid for by way of guarantee.

Following the recent bouts of vessel interceptions between the West Coast of Africa and attempted smuggling of drugs into Dublin Port, the head of MAOC(N) Lisbon, Mr. M O'Sullivan has been speaking to our MOD about deploying an Irish Naval vessel to Cape Verde Area. Good research will be needed to identify a secure support procedure for the ship to cover consumables and personnel supports including pre-arrival medical protections. Probably need a doctor on board, and make water offshore as needed. Cape Verde is a group of islands of Portuguese interest, Maybe some liaison there also pre-entry.

The area would be a great opportunity for the Service, however I struggle to think of any mainland port we could consider as a home port. Anything East of Cabo Verde is struggling to contain ISIS, with France commencing a new operation in the Sahel. Perhaps operating from Las Palmas would be a more practical option for now, with the support of the Spanish Navy?For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

There are at least 2 islands in the Cape Verde group with modern berths but they are probably not exclusive to a sole use. Praia has 850 metres of quay wall. The last time I looked HMAS Hobart was alongside amidst stacks of Maersk Containers. The major Island has 1800 metres of berthage at 12.5 metres max. so might be more tenable. Hobart is a DDG and has done some drug interdiction.

He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.
