@SsnakeD23 - @ carefreesteve I also did time in the sea dart section, the 4.5, CIWS during 1987 - 89 left the MOB in 90, have yet been in the UK during a reunion, but always keep an eye open for them... best of luck to you from a Fellow WEM
Nah There Is No Engine Anymore, But She Is Getting Towed Away In Winter And Arrives Back Into Portsmouth In April 2011.
While She Is Away Her Dock Is Being Pushed Back Further Few hunder meters so cruise liners/ ferrrys can get past her easier which the royal navy isnt paying for, Brittany Ferries Is :)
@dominiconlinecom My last sea draft and was my best, was only on there for 10 months prior to going to refit in 84 but had a great time, almost made me stay in the Mob because of it!! have some great friends from time onboard, also go to the annual reunions when I can.
The British uniforms are the same as the Canadian sea cadets but I think ours look more sharp because we crease ours. Unless the british sea cadets do too inwhich case, these guys need to do a better job.
She was a bit jinxed actually. Had a major flood that nearly tipped her over and a boiler room explosion that I believe killed 1 stoker. Did some work on her and she was an impressive ship.
@carefreesteve I served on her the time of the boiler explosion (1984), I was killick of the Sea Dart section, and no a stoker didnt die, his name was MEM(M) Jones (cant remember his first name now) but he was badly injured, suffered serious head injury. The major flood was as a result of a fire in engine/boiler room in the early 70's as the water wasnt pumped out as quick as it should have been, hence the flood The port passeway on 3 deck used to be an "iron" deck when I served on her.

in all fairness she is only a training ship now and doesn't sail. She's getting on a bit as well.
