"Twilight and evening bell
And after that the dark
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark
For though from out our bourne of time and place
The flood may bear me far
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar."
From the team.

Join us for the deep dive into that terrible day when a ships company performed above and beyond.
Tomorrow marks the anniversary of the attack on USS Stark. There were many parallels with the loss of HMS Sheffield in terms of operations, but her ships company rallied, despite critical damage and loss of life, and saved the ship.

Cannot be arsed doing a whole thread but here is my thinking about latest developments in the BS.

It’s worth listening to our podcast where we rather predicted aims and intentions of the AFU and explored the way Russia does air defence.

Firing in all directions. Looks thoroughly uncoordinated. Some shooting at what they thought was a surface contact, some in the air. One SAM launched.
Tuapse ... video from respected Turkish partners ...

video #1 strike on a tanker of the shadow fleet .. moment of impact at 58 sec.

Interesting timing for a mission and obvious centre of interest. And tough choice for the regional air defence commander. Go EMCON and risk losing your recognised air picture, or stay active and gift the Combat Sent data.

All reports about attacks in Venezuela appear to be originating from one source, the Miami Herald, so I’d wait out tbh. No NOTAMS issued yet. Seen nothing to confirm heavy GPS jamming that is being reported off the coast.

Damage to HMS Glamorgan post Exocet strike 12th June. Of note is the MRS3 director which appears to have tracked the missile until impact. The missile possibly ricocheted off the round dome, activating delay fuze, before skidding along deck and detonating, blowing a hole down. /1

Tigers were beautiful looking when they first came out. I recall being told, as a bundle of joy a few months old and teething, I received a dab of rum on the gums down the seaman’s mess on the Blake to stop the screaming😂

Me and rum fell in love then!

Coming soon, another fantastic episode from the team where we look in-depth at the loss of HMS Coventry. An absolute privilege to have a survivor onboard for this one, who will talk to @DMBrookfield whilst we examine the events that day, and remember the blokes still on eternal patrol.

One of our less publicised episodes and doubtless a little envy involved.
Join our special guest John Boltons Moustache as we examine how whilst command failed, a ships company adapted and overcame incredible challenges.
The US Navy at her very best.

Two firm favourites out the stash. Really took my time with this pairing. Not cheap. The Geneve uses Nicaraguan Condega Visus tobacco and Dominican Visus filler tobaccos with a dark Mexican binder.
£50 but worth every penny /1

Another cracker from the Independent bottler Signatory. I love their stuff. You can have a very mundane brand and they do strange magical things and produce stunning whisky.

One of our most successful recordings.

Real memories.

Lots of ALCM activity over Russia past couple hours. Interesting the videos show a near total lack of AA gun fire as the missiles enter terminal phase.

Prepping a new whisky and cigar review for the podcast. Two old friends but never together. A peated whisky and Davidoff Late Hour whisky cask aged smoke.

As ever enjoyed to great toons off the Shipwrekt playlist including:-

The RAF flights are particularly noteworthy.

If anyone in the WH with an IQ above fifty, bothered looking for ten minutes into the drug trade and specifically routes into the US, the USN wouldn’t be dicking about off Venezuela.

It’s embarrassing the utter lack of awareness of these morons. /1

Our biggest multi part project so far, telling the story of the largest amphibious operation since World War Two.

A tale of loss, heroism and penny pinching in defence that cost lives.

Last minute checks ready for new episode. With our amazing producer and editor Anna, @dmbrookfield.bsky.social , @intercityfc.bsky.social, @hopc.bsky.social , Latin and a very special guest and survivor of the loss of HMS Coventry Keith.

Always good to have a fellow Jedi Knight RP join.
