Navy Boys
Apparently HMS Ark Royal is currently in Halifax, Nova Scotia, to help celebrate the centenary of the Royal Canadian Navy. The local news channel had a reporter on board, to keep them company while they watched yesterday's football match. :-)
The video is here - ignore the ad, then jump on to 17 minutes or so. There's a couple of minutes, showing both the wardroom and the stokers' mess.
By the way, what do stokers do on a modern ship - I assume there's not a lot of actual throwing coal into the engines these days?
