I use to get up early to do a paper round and always made sure i go to see her leave and come home. My Uncle was in the RM band based on her and i was so lucky he took me on a family day on board ship and went to sea, Best day on my life.
What happened to the beginning of the episode ie Diamond Lil's and coming down the gangway drunk as lords hitting their heads on the ship, days I remember well, best days ever

Who was the master at arms he is simply brilliant. Firm but always fair treats every man like his son.
10 quid an expensive run ashore. Those were the bloody days.
Nine pints of scrumpy. Good effort Kelly!
Quiet run.
I saw some photo's of this magnificent ship being scrapped! Bloody sad.
Wonderful ship and by the looks of it crew and captain.
Ashore with £10.00, back aboard with 5 pence, few days lost of pay for fighting with the French Navy, good memories happy times.
In 1976 i was 16, and earned £11.50 a week.

Officer seems a fair Guy.
They put the bastards on Frigates!
Get the MEO to get it sorted!
Checking my chart of Plymouth Sound, it appears that the Vanguard buoys are further to seaward than the NE Winter buoy, as are The Narrows.
The Navy I remember.
Yes me too. Was on board intrepid 86/88. Not like todays, cuddly, woke, strike racist crap.

I could only manage 3 pints and I was passed as a fast.
