@antmiddleton @antmiddleton I'm ex navy and currently run a small marine business. Happy to help advise and setup. Too old to go afloat but can assist with the logistics and purchase of ex MOD ribs.

@83_add @antmiddleton It doesn't have to be armed, just a large boat with the ability to "persuade" the boats to turn back by manouvering in their way and blocking passage.

@Gavyn_x @BiscuitVanGuy @UK_Needs_Reform @sueberry1954 The Jack is not flown on as warship unless at anchor or alongside or rarely when dressed ship in the confines of harbour limits so I think the distress thing went out decades if not centuries ago.

@antmiddleton 2/2 stick to their core job. Stopping funding puts the lives of good seafarers around the coast away from the channel at risk.

[The Captain @navyman190]

@antmiddleton 1/2 Ant, as former Lifeboat crew I see both sides of the coin. For clarity I don't agree with the RNLI getting involved in the channel. The govt are currently paying millions to private companies to pick them up so why not just extend that contract for more boats so the RNLI can

@Red_State_Rebel @nicholadrummond Tell me when the Navy was tasked with that job then tell me when they failed

@mukiwafromzim @UKDefJournal They are yank nukes on a yank base so nothing to do with Starmer

@coffeesmuggling @Fran_in_a_way @UKDefJournal @grok On a US Base.

[The Captain @navyman190]

@gosisapilgrim @NavyLookout Likewise was my DO and always a really nice guy who had the troops backs.

[The Captain @navyman190]

@SchoolboyOwn @NavyLookout You never made a mistake then?

[The Captain @navyman190]

@Perivale1954 @lwsjms @NavyLookout Not if it was two consenting adults. No abuse in that at all

[The Captain @navyman190]

@BruceImpact @lwsjms @NavyLookout That would mean a large number of officers shod be sacked

[The Captain @navyman190]

@SirJamesCraig21 @NavyLookout @RfaNostalgia It does sat the pressure hull and fuel is lifex so no longer safe

@GhostOfOrwell84 @Louis5059326839 @Mallard143 @thinkdefence What real advantage does Nuc propulsion give us if we were to build a CVN though?

[The Captain @navyman190]

@northcamesouth Never have enough drills and stuff.

[The Captain @navyman190]

@northcamesouth Gaffer tape, either that or Rum are both good answers. But I think you need to resign yourself to binning the shiny brass hooks and go with the ones B suggested. They work really well and would suit your tool selection.

@Thomas095335353 @UKDefJournal Apart from 8 Spear missiles which will be in place with Tranche 4

@RNFROGMAN My last one the nurse left the laptop facing the cubicle. My scores were perfect 😂😂😂 what? 😂😂

[The Captain @navyman190]

@hughie_go @LizWebsterSBF It's bull. It happened to us last week. The only people who had problems were those without EU / British passports. The rest of us just went through immigration as normal.
