I've altered the ranking system, after having one or two comments about the 'Lots of fenders please' quotes. I hope the new one is more in keeping with maritime tradition!
If you don't understand this, basically, the more posts you make, the higher your ranking. I won't spoil the fun, but the first rank above 'Land Lubber' begins at 25 posts. Thereafter,you need to work it out yourseves.

Looks like you will be first, Huw. I'll have to try and catch up.

How many posts do you need for the next rank?

Ah, Able Seaman Sandpiper. That has a nice ring to it.

The lower ranks are quite close together, but it gets much harder as you get higher up. I did consider 'Able Seaperson' in this day and age, but it sounded silly.

Glad to hear it all that PC crap really irritates me. Female RN ratings are still Able Seamen.
