It’s funny how things change and how the world has different perceptions of a people. You see, people have long memories. Somali Pirates Vow Revenge on U.S., France on Rescues – is the news currently. Also, the Somalis have taken pot-shots at a US politician in Mogadishu according to Voice of America. This all flies [...]

This BBC report contains video proof that HMS Endurance, called a ship here, is actually a boat! Damaged Endurance set for repairs The point is in the Royal Navy’s definition. Sailors get extremely upset (yes really, if you are not a sailor) when you call their ship a boat. I’ve done it in conversation in [...]

Token News Links: Royal Navy warships lose email [...]

This is not a rant comparing the US military against others for effectiveness. It’s purely my observation of events and appearances surrounding the current (10 years!) piracy problem on the high seas. This is the homepage of the US 5th Fleet above.
