Must be pretty tight in the Navy :-) It depends. The Greek Navy now has 2 types of frigates (Dutch and German) and they are comfortable. When I was serving 6-8 years ago, there were also old American steamers about. They were a different ball game. Kostas (any more coming out of the woodwork? :-))

Well done, Markus... I spent some time aboard ships in the U.S. Navy, but never had to do seaman's labor, as I was a hospital corpsman. Nevertheless, it brings back pleasant memories. You never forget. thanks, keith whaley Markus Maurer wrote: Hi Pentax lovers after the first landscape photos it's time to show you the crew of the MS "Silvretta" at work. In the next issue I will show you what happens in leisure time and at seamen's baptism. At the end of this series you will see some more landscapes from Panama, China, Australia and Suez/Cairo and photos of the vessel. [...] on the MS "Silvretta" where 27 people, 8 from the German part of Switzerland, 7 from the French part of Switzerland, the Captain from Germany and most of the Officers from former Yugoslavia. [...] Please have a look at the presentation at: http://www.photo.net/photodb/presentation.tcl?presentation_id=256444 and read the explanations in the quick help too. One of the hardest jobs for a newbie deckhand is "driving the Maserati" - grinding rust, it has to be done all the time before you apply "Menning" - the red color" and finally the painting. Imagine doing that for hours in the deserts of the Suez channel pr the tropics at nearly 50 grades on hot steel for $2 per hour! - Look at the picture to see the Maserati. more soon... in selected Pentax theatres only Comments are very welcome Markus
