I was on HMS Beaver in the late 80’s. Her sister ships were called macho names like Battleaxe, Broadsword, Brazen, Boxer, Brave, Brilliant.... Someone, somewhere in the naming committee, must have had a few spliffs whilst reading readers wives in Razzle and came up Beaver.TVR Wannabe said:

Hello SailorLove the socks
When it comes to engines, this ship had some serious Horse Power. Main engines were 2 x Olympus Gas Turbines (maritime version of what Concorde was powered by). When on full chat, they produced 54,000 bhp. Was quite an experience stood in the engine room between the two engines when doing 30 knots in a 4,500 tonne ship.

Ship engines are something else! Got a picture of one of my school mates in the engine room during his training. He was holding a spanner as big as him!phazed said:
