Quite true Chippy Ned ......... but more than that, they were the pathfinders towards fleet efficiency. Without them and their example, their skill, their attitude and their initiative, the fleet could never have been kept at sea and operating so well. Many, many thanks and much respect to those boys!!!! :yea:
