It's a navy thing, I don't know if other lines do it or not, but its not often you get one ship staying with the same line for 39 years

And putting in duty as both a commercial and a military vessel.

You are both right there.

She was a one in a million.

And she had that really ship feel and look, not like todays ships.

SPLASH !!!

Nice pictures, that brings back memories of my transatlantic in 2006. My cabin was on 3 deck almost as far forward as you can go. I was kept awake on the second night with a noise and I could not work out what it was. It was only in the morning when it was light that I found out. It was light, then the went dark and I heard the sound. It was my porthole going underwater.
