The fleet of Shiryoku engages the 6th Fleet of the People's Republic of Catland.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.--.--.--.---.---.---.----.----.------------
The Shiryokan Air and Naval forces carry out a retaliatory strike on the PRC 6th Fleet, blocking off all retreat from E.
A full on strike is already prepared in response to the push by the leaders of the PRC to end the peace with Shiryoku, and a heavy offensive will begin in the first few days of August.
Made for Decisive Action 4!
Take here a large view!
Das Fleet (oder auch Vlieth, in unterschiedlichsten historischen Schreibweisen vorkommend, abgeleitet vom plattdeutschen Wort fleeten (=fließen)) ist eine norddeutsche Bezeichnung für Gräben bzw. künstliche Wasserverbindungen. Ursprünglich zur Entwässerung angelegt dienten sie später zunehmend dem Warenverkehr sowie z. T. auch der Verteidigung als Stadtgraben. Eine der frühesten Nennungen des Begriffes findet man in einer bekannten Hamburger Weisheit des 16. Jahrhunderts wieder, die da lautet: „Rücken zum Fleet! […] Bauch zum Hafen! […] Auf, Kameraden!“
Im Gegensatz zu einem Kanal wurde ursprünglich im Fleet der Wasserstand nicht durch Schleusen geregelt, sondern schwankte mit der Tide, dadurch kommt es zu Schlickablagerungen, mit deren Beseitigung der Berufsstand der Fleetenkieker beauftragt ist. Das Fleet war also ein künstliches bzw. ausgebautes Fließgewässer, während der Kanal meist ein künstliches stehendes Gewässer ist.

Royal Navy 'Fleet Air Arm' BAe Sea Harrier FA/2 ZE695/124 leads the 'SHAR' line-up at the RNAS Yeovilton 'Air Day' held on the 13th July 1996.
Note the different greys used on the fleet back then. The original colour scheme adopted for the FRS.1 version was the standard FAA 'Sea Grey' with white undersides but with the advent of 'hostilities' during the 1982 Falklands War the Sea Harriers were hastily re-painted - some overall 'Barley' grey with the remainder being overall dark grey.
As the airframes were upgraded to FA/2 standard and the new build fleet came on line, various hues of grey followed until they were eventually retired from service.

The Arcturan Alliance has rolled out their newest medium carrier. The Hoyt-class carrier houses two squadrons of Angon fighters and is outfitted with four point-defense turrets and a single deck-mounted howitzer, providing it with a limited unescorted strike capability. It is pictured here escorted by a Culverin-class gunship and two flights of fighters.
Hey look, Lime green!

Just another fleet built for Lukas's Microspacewars rules, though despite having three friends over with fleets yesterday, we still haven't played a game.
The annual Torbay half marathon held on a Sunday in late June sees many roads around Torquay & Paignton closed for the morning. Most services diverted via the Ring Road providing a few opportunities to catch buses in places they wouldn't normally run in. Top of my list was the two Rail River Link services, the NT5 & 100 that leave Torquay's Strand area at 09.30 & 10.00. In previous years I'd caught their Pointer Dart & Leyland Olympian running through the heart of Torquay shopping area, and was wanting to finally get one of their open top VRs there, but with persistent rain I thought there was little chance of that being possible this year. Happily the familiar sound of a VR could be heard roaring up the bottom part of Fleet Street bound for Totnes. I had to leave the shelter of Fleet Walk's covered areas to get this shot, but retreated swiftly after. lol!
For those who don't know the River Fleet used to run down where Fleet Street now resides, but on days like this it tries to make a reappearance!!

We took a walk to the mail shopping centre and decided to stop for a spot of lunch before we came home - We stopped at the Fleet, a pub/restaurant across the road from the Guildhall (just right of this photo). Tim, JJ and I went for our usual drinks - you can see them lined up! The Fleet (the red brick building) is right at the heart of uni land and the prices are very good here. Super old buildings - the one ahead belongs to the university now but I remember it as the city library when I was a child.

From Wikipedia: the 'blue hour' comes from the French expression l'heure bleue, which refers to the period of twilight each morning and evening where there is neither full daylight nor complete darkness. The time is considered special because of the quality of the light at this time of day.
