Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

I was on LE SB on Easter Monday and was talking to the LS who was interviewed.
That is a hard 3 month deployment

True enough, the strain on the crew must have been simply massive, in fairness to the Kennedy and her team it was a great insight to what the Navy is facing.
On a random aside, are those "shields" at the MG positions new, or just set up for situations?

Good show, great naval service doing worthy work. Whilst the award is warranted, they require more ships instead of awards. I thought that the start was a bit lame and did not show the planing and effort made to get the ship to the med it the first place. Well done lads

I was impressed. I won't go over the top but those Right Wing pundits on the later show were an in appropriate intervention. The humanity and attempts to resuscitate, feed,and care for so many traumatized people brings admiration it deserves. Medals? I would give a relevant DSM to boat crews, medics, and caterers for efforts above and beyond! I love the way Op Pontus has taken on some of the aspects of Op Sophia, especially the destruction of smuggler boats and the "Stand To" on the intrusion of the Libyan CG/Navy.

Maybe use of large placards with pictures showing people to "sit down" and loud short sound blasts to stop people shouting?You're even dumber than I tell people
You might have been infected but you never were a bore
