A campaign season ends and the battered and bruised HMS Sneck limps quietly into dry-dock.
A season of battles and skirmishes under a clueless leadership and a shell-shocked crew took its toll on the poor old girl. She rallied towards the end but her wounds had not healed and she succumbed to humiliation and ultimate defeat.
But fear not people. HMS Sneck has been modified and re-fitted. Her wounds have been healed. Her scars painted over and she is once again in a state of battle readiness.
At present she is undergoing sea trials around the firth of Moray under the watchful eye of Commander Butcher, he of English persuasion, who has, on more than one occasion, displayed his do or die attitude and his lust for victory. Lieutenant Malpas, a tactician of war with a record of success in many a battle. And captain Munro, a vital spark in the battles ahead. Those trials are showing that she is back on the route to success.
With a crew of experience and youth and a following of young and old HMS Sneck will once again show her dominance. With campaigns in the firths of Moray, Forth, Tay, Clyde and Solway about to begin HMS Sneck is armed and ready. Re-inforced with weapons of mass destruction she will head into battle all guns blazing from the off. She will create history. She will show the world she is not prepared to lay down her arms just yet. Her armoury will be stronger and more superior to that of the enemy and her course will always be set to go forward. Never will she retreat.
Be ready dear people. Be ready to fight and to follow and to believe in the strength and power of the old girl HMS Sneck.
