Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    We all know that ships are given nicknames, officially or unofficially. USS Theodore Roosevelt is the The Big Stick, the Stennis is nicknamed Johnnie Reb etc.

    What about unofficial nicknames?

    I think the coolest one i've heard recently is for USS Providence.... The Big Dog of The Red Sea Wolf Pack.

    Anyone got any others?

    (Mods, this could well be a mitty thread? Dunno??)
