Just in between packing, thought I'd get a few essentials done first, especially as the temperature has been hitting the dizzy heights of 25 deg C, and if I left this any later, I would have embarrassing white marks around my neck...

Doug on Deployment? What?
I am Doug, a marine engineer on HMS GLOUCESTER, a royal navy type 42 destroyer. GLOUCESTER has been tasked with "south atlantic patrol" in the latter part of 2009. This involves patrolling and protecting the UK's territories in the southern atlantic, namely the falkland islands. The majority of the deployment will be spent in and out of the islands, but there will (hopefully) be many port visits en route and when we return.
I have limited internet access during this deployment, due to operational reasons, but this blog is one of the sites that I can visit and update regularly. Follow this blog to keep up-to-date on my progress, see videos and pictures of places I've been. Please note that there is every possibility the ship could be re-tasked during this time and updates could cease if required by command... but let's hope not... :-)
