US naval officer: What's it like being in the second largest navy on the planet?
British naval officer: Not bad ... what's it like being in the second best navy on the planet?

Love this quote, and I so hope to god that it is true

It's in a book of famous Royal Naval signals. An american admiral and a RN Admiral.

I'll ask my dad, RN Rtd.

I loved the bit about the shooting, talking about the bullseye "and it ain't shooting at you like the Higgett boys at home".

Great one

The British navy isnt the second largest in the world, its about the 5th i think after the US, Russia and a couple of others. Its still the best though! :cool:

Who need nuclear powered aircraft carriers

I thought the Norwegan Navy was the biggest!... I know that they are the ones with that 'Stealth' boat that was used in 'Tomorrow Never Dies', Saw it on one of Clarkson's Programs!...
