Hi Toph, I was on the Moresby just before I got out. Brisbane was 81 - 83.

You were ETP and on Moresby. She was diesel electric as I recall. We have both been down the same noisy hole, me 10 years earlier. I was ERA 3 then.

"Mad Mick" Calder was the skipper then and also the chief hydrographer I believe. His son Nigel wrote a really good book or two on yacht electrics etc.

Old pusser sayings?? Best I can come up with is "If it moves, salute it; if it shines, polish it; if it doesn't do anything, paint it.

The PTIs used to come out with some pretty rough stuff if they had a squad of WRANS.
