A maritime podcast with a whiskey twist!
Back to where it all began. When I was prevailed upon to record a podcast that we hoped would get a hundred listens and exceeded all expectations. Grab a brew and learn about how to kill a cruiser. open.spotify.com/episode/498bIj… podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/shi…
No urban myths. No opinions by armchair admirals. Join the team for a step by step analysis of the loss of HMS Sheffield and the saving of USS Stark, by people who have been to sea. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/shi…
Multiple Russian AF Special Flights up at moment. With all the activity around Kaliningrad and a major naval exercise on, I wonder if Ivan is pulling a major readiness exercise?
For a useful adjutant to this great article by @NavyLookout we have our own assessment from a former Gunner. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/shi… open.spotify.com/episode/3S6pA5…
Latest in-depth article: Black Sea battle: how Ukraine’s drones overpowered the Russian Navy navylookout.com/black-sea-batt…
A thread where the RAF argue flying an aircraft specifically bought for carrier ops from a carrier, is wasted flying from a carrier😊
This article made a very important point about operational readiness. But a single broken F-35 waiting to be fixed for a month isn’t the real issue, but perhaps 18 of them being under utilised for 8 months is? Will the UK’s Lightning Force be more battle ready after CSG25? 🧵1/22
Just landed in Heathrow Airport T3. Went into M&S. Three @marksandspencer staff speaking in another language. I greeted them with “nuqneH” They failed to responded “Qapla”. I have a voice recording & their names to report to Klingon high command. We must confront them!
Christ on a bike. Another hot take😂
The look on every Navy officer on a tour of a merchant ship when he realizes It’s bigger than a carrier… It runs with just 24 crew… It has a fraction of the maintenance budget… And it still manages to have less rust than the average DDG
A curry house beloved to sailors in Portsmouth that stayed open after 0200 hrs. George was an absolute legend and had some exceptional nights out post Jo’s😉 youtu.be/nbcIKft-Iyo?si…
Worth a watch a bit of Royal Navy tradition
Royal Navy Field Gun tournament If you want to see how 18 men man handle 1,250lbs of gun over an obtacle course in less than 3 mins give this a watch (and yes its still an annual event) youtu.be/32s4qCCFnmk?si…
Fantastic to see a Hawker Hunter flying the loop, an aircraft well known to everyone who has enjoyed being a guest of FOST down Portland / Plymouth. youtu.be/eehEC2CORiw?si…
A timely reminder of our episode where we discuss life in Ukraine under sustained Russian air attack. A story of courage, defiance and will to win as a nation fights for survival . podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/shi… open.spotify.com/episode/700Pvc…
‘Aluminium caused the loss of Ardent and Antelope’. Listen to our podcast in which we exhaustively examine the damage the ships suffered and put in the cleaning gear locker the misconceptions like the above. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/shi…
Probably the most homoerotic phot of a Standing Sea Emergency Party, ever HMS Fearless
A legend has left us. If heaven is a motel, best call maintenance for the arrival party, especially if Lemmy is running the bar. “The lifestyle I've been living for the last 30 years, I could have been dead a thousand times.”
