My work place (56k unfriendly)

Hey guys, I haven't been around much lately as I've been at sea. Just thought I'd post a few pics up of the boat I'm on and some other random photos I took on one of our trips out.
The boat is HMAS Maitland, it's an Armidale Class Patrol Boat (as seen in the new season of sea patrol!!)

It kinda does doesn't it. It's hard to get an idea of how big the boat is because there is nothing for a reference, but they are actually quite big, especially for a patrol boat.
This pic is the last three generations of RAN Patrol boats. Smallest is an Attack class patrol boat (1965-1979), one in the middle is a Fremantle class patrol boat (1979-2006), and the large on is an Armidale class patrol boat.

Thanks for the comments guys. Hopefully I'll have some more good photos soon. We're supposed to be going to micronesia in a couple of months, so I should get some good photos up there.

Marc if you haven't already checked have a look at your email. Enjoy!!

Ha ha, you should've seen how long it took to send them with dial up at 31.2kbps. I started it, then went out for tea!! They are pretty good photos!!
