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'm a bit dopey this morning after rather a heavy night.Here's my next one in progress Empire MacColl.

Zephyr I think you mean tea as it is British ship.

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.

Thanks Mike,pics like that are allways useful.

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

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