I believe that the paint job on that ship is the standard paint used on the ships from other Countries as well and even if it looks like it is 50 years old makes no difference as long as it can do the job it is required to do is what is really the important thing to keep in mind.
From what I have heard matelots are not allowed to do any major painting anymore as this is the job of the dockyard maties. During my twenty-six years in the Navy, this would never have been allowed.
@@waynereardon6826 That is something that I never knew and in fact I don't know anything really about it but appreciated you educating me and others. about it Thank you.
@@waynereardon6826This is a massive ship with a crew of 60. There are no crew to spare doing dippy-dab work. Even cleaning stations are difficult with such a large ship (6500 tons) and such a small crew. Thos is the future as ships become more automated ... fewer grunts on board and everyone is a technician. I was on her in Halifax a couple of years ago and the Stokers are all computer nerds.
Can't the navy find a better paint system for their ships? She looks ten years old.
