When you're trying to depict life onboard a Tudor Warship, what better background to display it on than the Mary Rose herself!

The memorial stone at Royal Navy Submarine Museum. Note that it memorialises all RN submarines lost, not just those in wartime. The memorial garden has the names of over 5,300 RN submariners #NavalHistory

It’s Vigil, isn’t?
I am currently "hate-watching" a TV series that is incredibly bad across the board. Terrible acting (by good actors), predictable writing, ridiculous situations that would never happen, non-compelling story lines. I yell constantly at the screen. Cannot wait to watch the next episode tonight.

I offer up this. What could have been dry and dusty is brought to life with potted histories and biographies. It is over 400 pages but is written episodically so can be put down and picked up later. Recommended if you have ever wondered how they agreed to what they agreed to

It'd be remiss of me not to wish the US navy a very happy birthday, of course - and unlike virtually everybody else I'm going to include a picture of a genuine American warship to do so...
