Another year is rapidly drawing to a close and what a year it has been! Just when you thought there would not be much more we could discuss, we have had the longest thread (I believe) in forum history, with its offshoots still continuing on and off, with tens of thousands of views and scores and scores of posts. We've had heated arguments, pored over new information, analysed and re-analysed old information, come up with controversial theories and above all, we've had fun doing it.
Despite our diverse locations, personal beliefs, cultural differences, we all share one great common thread - absolute love for the ships and awesome regard for the human beings who sailed, fought and in many cases died aboard them.
I'd like to thank EVERYONE for being a part of all this and wish you all - whether you observe it or not - a safe, peaceful and very Merry Christmas season and may 2015 bring all that is good to you and yours!
Paul
