Can I just be a bit of a pedant and remind all folks that HMS is a title and therefore to say " the HMS Rodney" is incorrect.......the correct use is "I turned the corner and there I saw HMS Rodney".......if you wish to use the definate article 'the' then please omit HMS and say...."I turned the corner and there I saw 'The Rodney'.



Cheers chums...pedant mode off
