[QUOTE 4241207, member: 76"]I had the most hideous few days of my entire life on an RFA travelling from Ascension to the Falklands. The most memorable moment of the whole episode was sitting with breakfast and watching it slide from left to right across the table, isn't it right they have flattish bottoms on the ships to get hem in shallower water? The boat was probably just getting the crew used to being fed-up and uncomfortable.[/QUOTE]
Was it named after a night of the Round Table? If so, it was one of the landing ships designed for amphibious warfare.
