Admiral Beattie after the Battle of Jutland.  
Anyway; can’t find out anything locally but our new carrier, The Prince of Wales, has spent the last 2 days being pulled away from the fendering at Portsmouth by 2 tugs, some sort of ‘situation’ apparently.  
The first one, The Queen Elizabeth, made the headlines due to ‘sinking’ through a dodgy stern gland.  
Just wondered if anyone had heard anything through the grapevine.  
Or scuttlebutt.  
Or galley radio.
