Saw both of them yesterday whilst on a pleasure trip, the frigate was tied up to the buoys next to H.M.S Belfast and the minesweeper was tied up at the R.N.R. establishment H.M.S. President. Smart looking ships.

As a FOST once said to a frigate captain in Portland when he said he was tied up to Bravo buoy,
"shoelaces are tied up, HM Ships are secured. Go out and do it again"

LMAO - Nice one George - I haven't heard that one since I was in the pusser!

Back in the 1980s, when I worked near London Bridge, there was a piece of grafitti by the stairs from the south end of the bridge towards Southwark Cathedral which read:"F***k the Belgian Navy". Never did work out what that was about.
