Re: Frigate damaged by ammunition from another naval ship

Unbelievable, bunch of eejits! I am surprised that they even admit that they knew there was a live "round" jammed in the gun.
As they have proven cable of sinking their own ships, I suppose it is to be expected! :tosser:

Re: Frigate damaged by ammunition from another naval ship

That gun on Frigates is used by many navies around the world: OTO Melara 76 mm I suspect that it was a training round without any projectile. Just smoke and noise! At point blank range any projectile, even non-explosive, would have caused serious damage to the ship in front of it! RSS_Valour_76mm_OT...

Re: Campers, Camping and/or a Van?

I put this here as general interest. Camping is big business in Australia, from simple one man tents, up to multiple berth trailers and caravans. Hundreds of places for overnight use, some of them provided free by local town councils to encourage tourist dollars. https://www.caravancampingsales.com....

Re: Frigate damaged by ammunition from another naval ship

Little children playing with guns! Can't wait to watch them playing with a submarine!

Not had anything to do with naval guns, but army practice was to always make sure guns were cleared where they could do no harm.

Re: Campers, Camping and/or a Van?

They certainly don’t make it easy, but having said that, I would assume that something like an imported VW Camper Van that was properly registered when it arrived would be fine as it’s well under the 3.5t limit, but then again, due to its rarity it will presumably command a hefty price!! Many years...

Re: 2024 F1 News and Prediction League

I think it was fair enough for Mercedes to be fined as it appears they did not warn Hamilton of a driver being on a "fast lap" and LH was "reportedly" also avoiding Sainz at the time of the incident. First up I am very glad to see you posting, as your absence was worrying. :chee...

Re: Campers, Camping and/or a Van?

I know you're not useless with your hands like me - you helped build a lot of your own house. Have you never considered picking up an old e.g. minibus and converting it yourself? I would think it could be a very self-satisfying project. And then you would be accused of taking a Thais job! :shock:
