For some reason, I cannot listen to that and not see in my mind’s eye a bow-on shot movie of a coal-fired Dreadnought-era battleship in heavy seas in black and white.

I don’t know why.

I appreciate your optimism, but its long since past the time we ruled the waves! Still, we do what we can, where we can.

As for a song, Rule Britannia is good, but you cant beat ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ bellowed to the rafters at the Albert Hall on the Last Night of the Proms! Stiring stuff!

Excellent! Speaking of MadIvan, I believe it was he who posted this once before & we enjoyed it immensely until I lost the link... Cheers to you & your Royal Navy’s glorious past & future, MI.
