    Not so much a shanty, How about the Naval Hymn? Very moving piece of music.

    That clip for 'Eternal father strong to save' is wonderful. Watching it brings back a lot of memories. The first time i went to sea on the Canberra,we had just gone out of Sydney heads and headed down towards the direction of New Zealand on our port side was HMNZS Canterbury on the starboard side was the Torrens and we were in some very rough seas. What sticks in my mind was how well the Canterbury and Torrens were riding the seas compared to the tub i was on. Watching those two ships in a heavy swell was incredible. Gee,those Leanders are bloody good ships.

    On a trip back from Singapore on the Brisbane we had some decent seas,and she also handled big seas very well. That same trip after leaving Port Melbourne and in open seas the skipper gave the full ahead order,and she got up to 35 knots,that's bloody fast at any time let alone on a 40 year old ship. Sorry to waffle on like this. That clip made me remember a few things. Thanks Bob.
