Apt name.

It will polish out.


Edit. Spanish probably did not have time to try to harry this one.

Port is red that's left on the table.

That gives you port and starboard, nav lights and drinking etiquette in one easy step!

I thought it was pass the port to the left...

unless its an aircraft, where red is on the starboard side when you look up at it.... Thinking about it, if something was underneath the submarine, they would see red on the right hand side too. maybe we need to blame a drunken kraken rather then the royal navy.

I think you are confusing your left (port) with the vessel's left (port).

Everyone else just says they smell of farts even weeks after coming back from a tour.

All the short words go together :
Port, left, red

Is it just me, or does "HMS Ambush" sound like a rather underhand kind of name, even for a submarine??? ;-)

Seems as if it was actually being used on a Submarine Command Course. Going to be interesting seeing as in control room will most likely have been boat Commander, student and Teacher. Sixpence -half a crown.
