Haven't been feeling up to returning to active service this last couple of days. Hopefully I'll be up to it tomorrow, Tuesday.

Lt. Nerys

I'd love some rabbit stew, Oklahoma or any other breed. Years since I had any. Must see if any butcher around here sells rabbit.

Interesting things going on at the Inland Shipyards...we’re gonna cook us some Oklahoma Rabbit Stew in the near future...

Hi Doug,

Thanks for that information, I suspected they must have some excuse rather than sheer ignorance. Interesting about the Winston S. Churchill though.

Cheers, Nerys

Hi Nerys,
"The U.S. Navy destroyer Winston S. Churchill is the only U.S. warship to fly the White Ensign along with the Stars and Stripes to honour her British namesake, the former prime minister[citation needed].
Isambard Kingdom Brunel's SS Great Britain, although a merchant ship, appears to have worn (and still bears and flies, preserved in dry dock as a historical exhibit / museum ship) the White Ensign, apparently because its first master (an ex-Royal Navy man) brought it with him."
Maybe the Navy don't object cos they nicked some of her hull, while she was stuck in Sparrow Cove in the Falklands, to patch up HMS Exeter after the Rio Plata shindig.🙈
Cheers, Doug 😎

I last visited the SS Great Britain in Bristol Docks quite soon after she came back from the Falklands, but now, what a wonderful and well patronised exhibit she has become. I thought one of the most interesting features was the way a large section of the bow has been left so that the actual state of the hull, rust holes and all can be seen. But, I do have a query. The white ensign was fluttering from her stern ensign post. Why? I always thought that the only vessels entitled to wear the white ensign were units of the Royal Navy and yachts owned by members of the Royal Yacht Squadron.

FLEET TO CPO CASH; WESTERN SQUADRON: CET 01:04 2019:10:12.
"It is with much sadness I have to report the loss of the Texas Navy flagship, San Jacinto."
Regrettable news ref. San Jacinto. Expect casualty report ASAP.
"the actions above were my fault, and mine alone. All crew, feline and human, acted in exemplary fashion. If there is any disciplinary action due, it should be with me. "
I'm sure all crew members conducted themselves in the traditions of the service Chief.
Therefore we will refrain from disciplinary action and a formal Board of Enquiry.

However!
Due to continuous pressure on our budget, we regret to have to inform you that the cost of the replacement for San Jacinto must be borne by yourself and your crew.
We applaud your measures taken to minimise the new build costs, if somewhat unorthodox🙈🙊, and wish you all success.🤞 Despite the replacement FPB design being of Japanese origin!
Keep us informed of progress please.
Please ensure that the Sensor Suite includes the latest MINARDAR system.
(MIow Navigation And Rabbit Detection And Ranging).
We are pleased to advise you that Lt. jg Hon. Errol has been awarded the DFC (Distinguished Feline Cross) for valour under fire. At your discretion medal pinning ceremony may be substituted by provision of extra Catnip and Cream rations.🐱

He’s okay, went back to his quarters for some catnip therapy....😁

CPO Hargett. Very sorry to hear of the total loss of your flagship, that'll teach you to go round trying to get the better of a bunch of rabbits. Trust your new acquisition will be fitted with all the latest rabbit guns and traps and have the necessary speed and manouverability to outwit the Oklahoma rabbits gun boats. How is Errol the cat bearing up after what must have been a nerveracking experience?
