Видео

I was quarter master on the Grand Turk for this event, one of the greatest nights of my life.

Old ships, did FOST in Cardiff & Illustrious, did the Falklands 82 and watching this reminds me why I made the right decision to leave in 95. Rob, the captain in this video was the most modern thinking naval officer I ever came across...way ahead of his time and the navy lost him prematurely because of the nonsensical and unjustified appraisal FOST gave him.

Well done Kev did 1st commission on Manchester as ccwea, sad loss of capt wigley, great guy, lots more info on 2MA website!!!! Hope yiu find more vhs stuff, bz for that

Great fun 🎉🎉🎉

So glad it’s still going good 🎉🎉🎉

Is she afloat or in dry dock

Interesting. Did BOST on Newcastle 88. Wonder why it did it twice in 3 years?

Thanks (?) for the trip down memory lane. Served 24 years in the Mob. Broke my leg 2 days before Battleaxe was due to leave Guzz for Portland in 87 😀. Did Portland on Bristol in '88 and the infamous Glasgow BOST in '93 - the state of the ship meant we shouldn't have even left Rosyth in the first place. When FOST moved to Guzz I went through the training on Grafton (97) and Newcastle (02), as well as numerous Thursday Wars when on ships just "passing through the area". Oh and not forgetting the FOST staff appearing in the Med, the Gulf and Caribbean, just to keep us on our toes. The FOST instructors were hard, but by hell the constructive criticism and training stayed with you. The best teamwork building experiences a person can go through.

❤❤❤❤❤

My dad was yeoman on this

My late dad would have loved to see this. We went to Weymouth on holiday every year and my dad who was ex RAF & intelligence was fascinated by all the goings on around the Port and in Weymouth bay.

I was the Master at Arms onboard HMS Scylla and appear a couple of times in the video, she was my last ship before I left the RN after 24 years. Aberdeen was a great visit.

What was the name of the first piece?

is this a Total war Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai reference

Do they still do Fost. Imagine these standards applied to today's crews.

Never tire of watching this. Such fond memories of Global 86 and HMS Beaver.

I viewed this ship when a hulk, the done to her is truly brilliant, thank you for this video, well done all 👍🇬🇧

Only the general public who pay first may gaze upon her..P O A.😅🤣😂

Sweet England..

Ahoy marinari

I loved going to Portland, the actual work up to Portland was far worse with Wardroom warriors regularly disappearing up their own rectum, especially Jimmy the One.. From the Staff Sea Check, the Sea weeks, Harbour weeks, The Distex, the occasional safeguard pipe, the Final exercise, the Green Shutters, trips across to Weymouth and its delights, so much so I bought a house in Wyke Regis. All the ships I served on either did a COST or BOST even snook in the 2 week SOST my first ship was Portland training with a red 2 on the funnel, Thursday was war day.

Trincomalee is a port of Sri Lanka (Ceylon)

Thank you for the preservation of world treasures. Millions view them.

8:00 except it's not a tanker, it's the dry stores/ ammunition ship RFA Regent. Just about right for any piece of BBC reporting when it comes to ship identification.

Terrible narrative

I was onboard for this ship for 5 years and for this documentary. Best Captain, Rob Davies, and happiest ships Company in the Royal Navy. The ship was never going to get anything other than a "satisfactory" outcome to this sea training as the usual 6 weeks of training was compressed to a shorter time period for TV purposes. The ships Company would have died for the Captain.

I was on HMNZS Southland F104, great memories and absolutely brilliant ''Rig Run'' ashore..."The Orient Hotel, The Rocks...Oh what a night :)

Bad ass ship that's seen so many ruthless battles. Wow she's gorgeous

What's wrong with the narrator's voice ?? Lol

it was 1987 matey I was there.

I too was a part of that event. Not only was I displaying my models in the chain test house as part of the World of Model Boating, but I was also doing a 1940’s re - enactment commemorating the end of World War 2, dressed in my Merchant Navy Commodore's uniform. I was even piped aboard HMS Nottingham (the one that embarrassingly ran aground near Australia) by one of the crew and given a tour. It was a pleasure taking part in this event. 😊

DJ such a wonderful leader

I was there took hours to walk home back to Eastney. I remember the quiet of everyone after so many fireworks.

Thanks Kevin - what a great video, taking me down memory lane - I was serving on HMS Newcastle for this documentary, and can well remember the filming taking place, the long stressful days and lack of sleep! Character building stuff!! 🤣

THIS MUSEUM IS A CRIME SCENE.

Yeah sure of course it's hard looted items

09:24

Başka uygurrlukları yağmalayıp kendi ülkelerine götürüp orada sergilemeleri utanç verici.

The warrior isn't "ironclad" it's the first iron warship!

That's a great cassle my husband is a Warwick also my kids to

Brilliant record to discover, I remember this from the time as well as some of the characters in the clips

Victory is 227' from taffrail to figurehead, not bowsprit.

French shipbuilding and designing, truly masterful! No wonder the Royal Navy used to launch entire series of ships based on captured French or Spanish ships and British officers only wished to get command of one of those, when British ship designing and building was so backwards.

We all know the boy's job 😊
