  Lots of feel good commentary here. The reality is both the first Harry DeWolfe & Max Bernay have experienced compartment flooding. I am thinking myself the welds literally failed. Plus the NATO ministers would frown ipon its poor deck armaments as substantially weak for even one prolonged aerial attack. This is the perfect example of millenial Canadian ideal, "its good enuf....and keeps Irving in the black." Dismal standard. In a real world conflict emergency, two of these arctic patrol vessels should be able to temporarily replace 1 of our frigates to protect a port city from aerial straffing-bombing. So the frigate can go to war in a carrier group. Today, this is an impossibility. Thats why sailors were uniforms. National defense.

  Interesting to see - surprised to see them using a small tug rather than their own boat, but skipper's choice, I suppose!

• 
  @ThamesShips11 күн бұрын

  I wonder if the use of the tug is a PLA requirement as all the superyachts I have filmed at Georges Stairs have had one. Although I didn't film it, once the mooring process is completed, the tug usually disappears for 30 minutes or so and then brings a floating pontoon which is put up against the yacht to allow easier access.

• 
  @ShipsandShipping11 күн бұрын

  @@ThamesShips Sounds about right - and the pontoon would be useful, anyway. I filmed something similar for my old channel Shipping TV a few years back aboard PLA Southwark: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aIt-rpdtfdjSeqg.html

  Thanks. Yes - the town on the other side of the river is called Gravesend. Up until the end of March, there was a ferry that took you from this side of the river (at Tilbury) to the other side of the river (at Gravesend) which took about 5 minutes. As this ferry doesn't run anymore, if you are driving from Tilbury to Gravesend, it now takes about 30 minutes and you have to cross the river using the Queen Elizabeth II bridge at Dartford. If you are travelling by train, you have to travel via London and it takes about 90 minutes to get to Gravesend from Tilbury!

  Thanks. 👍The main purpose of the fire nozzles on the tug boats is to fight fires but they are occasionally used for water salutes on special occasions. You sometimes see it at airports as well for special flights (such as a new route or a new type of aircraft) though in such cases the airport's fire engines are used to spray the water.

  @@ThamesShips I attended a Dunkirk Little Ships return to Chatham Docks so we were all dressed over and brass all shiny. The Massey Shore Thames Fire Boat decided to do a sail past with the monitor blasting out lovely dock water. The crew of Bluebird of Chelsea presented the Massey crew with there now ruined ships bell for them to polish again. Plus a bottle of gin to sip while doing it. I helped the big Bluebird get away from the dock early, she was hemmed in between boats rafted ahead and astern. So old Lazy Days did a bit of tug work. After Dunkirk Lazy Days was kept in the navy doing Thames Estuary parachute mine patrols. She was under Chatham control buy was moored at Queensborough for the duration.
