Does anyone know which Navy ship is being anchored in the Harbour for the Regatta in a couple of weeks?

Thank you. Hadnt seen that & when i was in Dartmouth earlier this week i asked the question & was told that due to 'operational reasons' it could not be disclosed which ship would be on duty this year.

Well, if you asked in the DHNA office I'm not surprised. When I think of them the words fking, useless and expensive spring to mind..........

Had forgotten it was Salcombe Regatta this week. Back down in Dartmouth Wednesday so will catch the last 3 days or so after which its time to pitch the tent on Dartmouth harbour front & enjoy the fun.

Assuming that it stays dry!!!
