I am not sure that there exists a finer, more highly-trained military organization in the world than Her Majesty’s Royal Marine Commandos.

I was fortunate enough to spend some time with some from HMS Fearless, an amphibious assault ship, when they came on a series of port calls in the US in 1983.

They sure do know how to name their ships.

I dont remember the ship, but I was in Wilmington NC, when a brit ship back from the Falklands war, docked for a few days.
One thing that stands out in my memory is the ship’s rugby team, “playing” against a local team, the brits put a couple locals in the hospital, all in fun. they were a good bunch. just dont play rugby against them
