Pulled from the Admiralty board of inquiry into the loss of HMS Coventry, diagrams of the damage and subsequent loss of stability as she suffered rapid free flooding. It noted in peacetime, damage like this from collision would have also sunk her.

Thank you to @furiousfaeriebitch.bsky.social @mtanderson.bsky.social for becoming a Shipmate on our Patreon Channel! You win…something. Signed of photo of me!

Ladies And Gentlemen, We’re back! And what a season we have lined up for you. Firstly, thank you all so much for your support. We were hoping for a few hundred downloads when we started, and are now nearly at 23k. It’s been a privilege to work on this with a great team /1

The countdown to Shipwrekts new season has begun and the good news is there’s going to be wine reviews as well as more whisky and cigar notes. Xmas is coming and we will see you right for quality affordable beverages, and great podcasts you can enjoy whilst ignoring the family this festive season.

Gulch Life At Sea Dictionary:-Gulch-a narrow and steep-sided ravine marking the course of a fast stream. Navy:-a narrow passage way, with a number of bunks, boot lockers, personal lockers and suitcase lockers. A place of strange noises and stranger smells /1

From the team. youtu.be/IkPt--qiuiA

"Twilight and evening bell And after that the dark And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark For though from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar."

Join us for the deep dive into that terrible day when a ships company performed above and beyond.

Cannot be arsed doing a whole thread but here is my thinking about latest developments in the BS. It’s worth listening to our podcast where we rather predicted aims and intentions of the AFU and explored the way Russia does air defence. Links in comments…

Firing in all directions. Looks thoroughly uncoordinated. Some shooting at what they thought was a surface contact, some in the air. One SAM launched.

Interesting timing for a mission and obvious centre of interest. And tough choice for the regional air defence commander. Go EMCON and risk losing your recognised air picture, or stay active and gift the Combat Sent data.

All reports about attacks in Venezuela appear to be originating from one source, the Miami Herald, so I’d wait out tbh. No NOTAMS issued yet. Seen nothing to confirm heavy GPS jamming that is being reported off the coast.

Damage to HMS Glamorgan post Exocet strike 12th June. Of note is the MRS3 director which appears to have tracked the missile until impact. The missile possibly ricocheted off the round dome, activating delay fuze, before skidding along deck and detonating, blowing a hole down. /1

Tigers were beautiful looking when they first came out. I recall being told, as a bundle of joy a few months old and teething, I received a dab of rum on the gums down the seaman’s mess on the Blake to stop the screaming😂 Me and rum fell in love then!

Coming soon, another fantastic episode from the team where we look in-depth at the loss of HMS Coventry. An absolute privilege to have a survivor onboard for this one, who will talk to @DMBrookfield whilst we examine the events that day, and remember the blokes still on eternal patrol.

One of our less publicised episodes and doubtless a little envy involved. Join our special guest John Boltons Moustache as we examine how whilst command failed, a ships company adapted and overcame incredible challenges. The US Navy at her very best. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

Two firm favourites out the stash. Really took my time with this pairing. Not cheap. The Geneve uses Nicaraguan Condega Visus tobacco and Dominican Visus filler tobaccos with a dark Mexican binder. £50 but worth every penny /1

Another cracker from the Independent bottler Signatory. I love their stuff. You can have a very mundane brand and they do strange magical things and produce stunning whisky.

One of our most successful recordings. Real memories. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

It’s Trafalgar Night! Break out shot and powder, rum and wads! youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Lots of ALCM activity over Russia past couple hours. Interesting the videos show a near total lack of AA gun fire as the missiles enter terminal phase.

Prepping a new whisky and cigar review for the podcast. Two old friends but never together. A peated whisky and Davidoff Late Hour whisky cask aged smoke. As ever enjoyed to great toons off the Shipwrekt playlist including:- music.apple.com/gb/album/tak...

Coming soon to a book shop near you. The ultimate self help guide for anywho has been summoned to a cheesy gold plated room to listen to utter chimps…

In my head during the annual drugs and alcohol awareness unit training … www.facebook.com/share/v/1M2g...

The RAF flights are particularly noteworthy.

If anyone in the WH with an IQ above fifty, bothered looking for ten minutes into the drug trade and specifically routes into the US, the USN wouldn’t be dicking about off Venezuela. It’s embarrassing the utter lack of awareness of these morons. /1

Our biggest multi part project so far, telling the story of the largest amphibious operation since World War Two. A tale of loss, heroism and penny pinching in defence that cost lives. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

Last minute checks ready for new episode. With our amazing producer and editor Anna, @dmbrookfield.bsky.social , @intercityfc.bsky.social, @hopc.bsky.social , Latin and a very special guest and survivor of the loss of HMS Coventry Keith. Always good to have a fellow Jedi Knight RP join.

Combat Sent is rather rarer. Only two on the books? Maybe he will go to the ME. Maybe Baltic. And interesting that an RQ is joining the party. Usually this would suggest a bit of an uptick in ISTAR around Kaliningrad today.

No idea. I assume a surface track. Not on AIS.

Stacking up whisky and cigar reviews ready for the new @ShipWrektPod season. Tonight, Anoc 18, a true traditional malt from the old school, and not for the faint hearted. And a beautifully made box pressed Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado.
