There is a nice mixture this month - just as
Straat Clarence loaded o n her way to Japan
for lengthening ( pages 50/51). We are indebted
both t o Captai n Adamse and Act ing
Third Officer Groenendijk for the pictures.
Companies Anniversaries continue to be in
the fo refront (pages 48/ 9 and 52/ 3) but
there will be a slowing down during 1971.
1972, however, w ill see the numbers rising
agai n, and the following t wo years w ill produce
really bumper crops.
New ships need new trai ning techniques.
Pages 46/ 7 contain a most interesting description
of the navigational simulator in Holland.
For the rest, honours are even between staff
and sh ips - a well-trimmed ship in fact.
