Thanks, Hunter - I will remove the offending indefinite article from the beginning of the sentence. Regards, Jamie

Oh no ... I spend ages telling people that its "HMNZS Otago" ... NOT
"The HMNZS Otago".

One can accept happily "the USS Clamclopper" but (say) "The HMS Snowdrop" would likewise stick in the craw.
Or am I just showing my age?

Otherwise lovely clean crisp and great site~!

What do you know?
