HMS Shoreham

[The Clamp]

For those who are interested in such matters HMS Shoreham will be docking at Shoreham Harbour this afternoon and leaving on Monday. Quite nice to see these boats as they arrive if anyone interested.

My eldest son wants to join the Navy, so he'll be interested to go out there and take a look before it leaves. Cheers!

HMS Shoreham is a minehunter, not a boat. Submarines are boats.

What is the difference between a "boat" and a "ship" ?

I was made very aware many years ago by a Canadian pilot when I wrongly called his "aircraft" a "plane"
"Sir: A plane is a carpenter's tool !"

Generally speaking, it's size, but the Navy only refers to subs as boats. Everything else has it's own name, like destroyer, frigate, dinghy, yacht, motor launch etc.

That's interesting, because it means that the newly-built Antarctic research vessel shouldn't have been called Boaty McBoatface in the first place. And I thought giving that name to its sister submersible instead was incorrect...guess you learn something new every day.

Ships carry boats.

Radar had better be working, zero visibility from Brighton beach. Could end up aground in Fat Boys front garden.

A submarine is a Boat. In other worlds a boat fits on a ship, a ship won't fit on a boat.

Looks like it's ripe for joining the other old naval houseboats in Shoreham

Why? It's only 15 years old.
