C'mon.... Everybody knows that a navy cannot sail without an adequate supply of coffee. So ... No Coffee = Massive error on the part of the logistics boys-n-girls.

(it was my attempt at a little military humor. My last battalion commander before I got out was one of those who refused to do anything without coffee available. He was the type who, in a cavalry charge, probably would have had his sabre in one hand and a travel mug of black coffee in the other.)

I might be English APDAF but I couldn't drink that crap.The residents of Boston had the right idea when it came to tea.

From everything I have ever read, the RN is about as addicted to coffee as a Brooklyn Steelworker or Seattle Hipster, and pretty much always has been.

Apologies for the unintended threadjack, Bombhead.

What you think about splitting this thread into BEFORE 1950 and AFTER ?????

[Ultimo Tiger]

I don't think it needs splitting, especially as it seems most of the ships have been uploaded to the main site.
