No Jan 2021, we are both retired and average 3 turns day so we can do a game year in one year.

Are you referring to the "Hitra".....Yes, it was too tempting - it's very nice, I have actually been aboard her.

OK, I see - well the picture of that cruiser is not supposed to be her but the USN cruiser mentioned in the picture text.
The subchaser, however, is a picture of one of the three similar vessels which were used by the Norwegian Navy on the Shetland-Norway route - the "Shetland Bus" - "Hitra", "Hessa" and "Vigra". "Hitra" is being maintained by the navy and volunteers in honour of this service.

OK, I see - I wasn't aware of that - you know, journalists...! Well, that edition was written approx. 5 weeks ago so I might have believed it was the "present" de Ruyter. Really do not remember. Tks for looking up!
Otherwise?
