Pulled from the Admiralty board of inquiry into the loss of HMS Coventry, diagrams of the damage and subsequent loss of stability as she suffered rapid free flooding. It noted in peacetime, damage like this from collision would have also sunk her.

Falcons, Darts And Wolves is now live on Patreon, with @hopfifi and @Latin doing an aviation aspect analysis of the Battle For San Carlos. It’s a great primer for the release of Thunderbolt Of Zeus-the loss of HMS Coventry later this week. /4

Each bunk had its own curtains. Mattresses on T42 destroyers on middle and top pits rested on rubber lattice straps. Bad news if the occupant above you swamped his pit, as the drip drip of warm piss was sure to wake you up🤦♂️And if he was fat, you’d watch the mattress descend /4

Most of the bunks however were down small alleyways leading off from the mess square. There would be a curtain at the entrance and probably a further curtain halfway down, for a modicum of privacy and to keep light out /3

Not so long ago the mess square, a social area with its seating, tv and bar area / beer fridge, would often also have ‘mess square pits’ or bunks. You can imagine trying to sleep whilst twenty blokes talked, watch telly, smoked and drank beer. Luckily those days are gone /2

"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."

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.

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.

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.

Original notes which I could find this time! Good luck trying to read the scrawl which was the result of an evening sustained drinking /2

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.
