Zitat:Carrier is high and dryhttp://www.navynews.co.uk/articles/2004/...032901.asp
This is HMS Illustrious as you have probably never seen her before – from below.
And you won’t see her like this again for some time to come, either.
In a 270m-long dry dock at Rosyth dockyard in Scotland, the 26-year-old carrier awaits the moment the sluice gates are opened and she is afloat once more as the latest stage of her refit is completed.
Zitat:UTVÆR: A single Norwegian submarine prevented Bluelands landing operation. The crew of KNM Utvær did infact do so well that they were removed from the exercise for 72 hours.
The mood was good on KNM Utvær, even though they were taken out of the exercise Joint Winter for three days. They simply did too good a job and was removed to let the landing and field operations part of the exercise begin. The commander of the boat, Øistein Helge Jensen, gave stealth the highest prority and got so many British kills that they lost count in the end.
Zitat:- I have seen much I have never seen before. We have been moving more in the littorals and the navigation has been more demanding than I'm used too. It has been a great experience and I hope I can get a CD-Rom with periscope pictures of Albion, Invincible, the destroyers and the frigates we sunk and the bridges we have sailed under. Vi have done things that is every submarines dream, says Clarke.[Bild: http://www.mil.no/multimedia/archive/000...38177a.jpg]
