Who went to see the sinking of the Frigate

According to one theory, it is the song the band played as the Titanic sunk

well it didn't help them then, did it? They should have tried to get out instead

...and died with the rest who weren't in lifeboats and drowned? They made their choice, they would have known they were going to die either way...what a way to go I say!

I remember her when we just got her off the Brits. She had seen active duty in the falklands and then left until our gubmit brought her and another at a very special price. Must have been a real good deal judging by the moss growing every where and the infestations of cockroaches. Being a part of the refit crew I got to know her intimatley. Hours and days on a windy chisel chipping rust what a life.
I was a sad day to see her go down but its great that she can still be enjoyed by many, unlike my old ship the Otago, only photos and memories remain.

To take your chance in the thick of a rush, with firing all
about,
Is nothing so bad when you've cover to 'and, an' leave an'
likin' to shout;
But to stand an' be still to the Birken'ead drill is a damn
tough bullet to chew,
An' they done it, the Jollies -- 'Er Majesty's Jollies --
soldier an' sailor too!
Their work was done when it 'adn't begun; they was younger
nor me an' you;
Their choice it was plain between drownin' in 'eaps an'
bein' mopped by the screw,
So they stood an' was still to the Birken'ead drill, soldier
an' sailor too!

We're most of us liars, we're 'arf of us thieves, an' the
rest are as rank as can be,
But once in a while we can finish in style (which I 'ope it
won't 'appen to me).
But it makes you think better o' you an' your friends, an'
the work you may 'ave to do,
When you think o' the sinkin' Victorier's Jollies -- soldier
an' sailor too!
Now there isn't no room for to say ye don't know -- they
'ave proved it plain and true --
That whether it's Widow, or whether it's ship, Victorier's
work is to do,
An' they done it, the Jollies -- 'Er Majesty's Jollies --
soldier an' sailor too!

Hats off to the Royal Marines 'Er Majesty's Jollies.

Sorry , Sarge. It's that extra couple of hundred years of experience.

OK if you dive. But why can't we have at least one of our ships turned into a museum. Like Aussie has done.

Often had to resort to the footpaths to get out
