SOUNDBITE: (English) Commander Mark Newland, Commanding Officer, HMS Iron Duke: "What we intend to do is show him as much as we can about life onboard an operational warship. His activities will be based primarily around watch keeping, ship driving, as well as contributing to the counter drugs planning as well as a primary role in our disaster relief planning operations as well."Senior officers stress that William will not be receiving any special treatment during his Navy assignment. ___ ___, The Associated Press.

I used to be on the Iron Duke in 2002-2003 and it was full of pricks then. God knows how the grunters will act when Wills gets on board.
