Stocking fillers for millionaires!
By royal appointment, a hull suited for arctic waters, with lots and lots of history.

Happy Christmas RIBnet. Here's to 2012!

James Caird launch (survey boat) from HMS Endurance Disposal Services Authority

More details here about the temporary replacement vessel - while Endurance's fate is to be decided: http://www.navynews.co.uk/archive/news/item/2651

Interesting.

This says more about the state of our navy that we have to 'borrow' a Norwegian ice-breaker - MV Polarbjørn Polar Bear, which is then fitted out at great expense.
