What type of ship is better to serve on? What are more capable, What type of ship is most deployed? Any answers are welcome, thanks for the help!
Agree 100%...too bad so many forget how important the crew is but it happens.STONEY said:The crew is the most important factor. A good CO,XO and a crew thats works together and have a happy ship make all the difference in the world. On the other hand if that certain spark is lacking and your ship is not a happy one ,life can be really miserable. I've been on several of each type and its hard to pin down what exactly what makes it work but some do and some don't and the difference is quite remarkable.
Cheers

Jack Nastyface said:I'm a "280 Lady", having served 12 yrs in ATH and 2 yrs in IRO. I did the 2nd Gulf War in MTL and she was a comfortable ship. The only trouble with 280s is that they are a command and control platform. So, invariably, you get the commodore and his staff (aka the "Good Ideas Club") onboard looking over your shoulders. And for the OP-you never serve "on" a ship. You serve "in" a ship.
Harley, maybe you should have paid a little more attention to correct naval terminology during your 30 years in the mob. As quoted on the Canadian Tribal Association web site: http://jproc.ca/cta/theships.htmlHarley Sailor said:With 30 years in the navy, and having lived with my father while he was in the navy, I've never once heard anyone say they sailed "in" a ship. When ever I'm asked it's "what ships have you sailed on".

"Past and present sailors of the CTA must have sailed in at least one of twelve particular ships to qualify as 'ordinary' members. The ships are listed in alphabetical order which comprise the original eight Tribal class destroyers built during World War 2 and the four Iroquois class successors."
If you would like a little Dog Watch instruction in correct naval terminology and slang, I would be happy to oblige. :
Well, perhaps 15 years of sea time as a MARS officer gives me a wee bit of insight. From your "Verbal Warning" I see that you are one of the problem children here. Oh, you might want to brush up on your spelling as well as your naval terminology.Harley Sailor said:So because one site says it's true then you beleive it...kool
