Tankertrashnav,
I nominate Michael Palin to play the Captain, in his best " Welease Woderick ! " mode.
Beagle,
That book simply has to be sent, if possible in such a way that el capitan can't just quietly bin it; transparent wrapper for the crew et al to see ?
If I on my little boat should happen to be in the vicinity of Bulwark when she returns ( unlikely but a nice thought ) it would be quite in order for me to enquire if they need anything, calling first on VHF channel 16...

I hope their Lordships' traditional sense of humour prevails on this one, and that the captain is in due course promoted. A suitable NATO appointment might, say, be Flag Officer Training Units Atlantic. FLATULANT.
