Goodbye HMS Ocean

Post by VulcanDriver »

Yet another stupid decision by the UK Government like the Nimrod fiasco. They didn't mention this in Parliament. We might as well give up trying to play with the big boys!

Now that's a shame. This was my last seagoing job before a shore base and retirement. Ocean was a very happy ship when
I was onboard and her capabilities were far beyond what was first envisaged and kept increasing throughout my time, and I'm sure
this continued after I retired to a deskjob in London.

Stupid decision
