The Burlington, Ontario Canada Branch of the Navy League of Canada was established in October of 1942 and the first cadets joined and paraded in the months of February of 1943. The Sea Cadet Corps was named after Her Majesty’s Ship IRON DUKE, the British Royal Navy Dreadnaught and fleet flagship in the First World War. The name seemed the most appropriate as ‘Iron Duke’ was the nickname for the First Duke of Wellington (of the Battle of Waterloo), and the downtown core of Burlington was once called Wellington Square when the town of Burlington was first established. The initial Warrant was issued to the Burlington Navy League Branch on the 6th of March 1943.
It is not captain #jamescook, but it reminds me on one of the most well known explorer, navigator, and cartographer. James Cook is a british captain who had commanded HMS Endeavour and HMS Resolution through 3 different voyages. He is from the #navy but It is his legacy on scientific and geographical knowledge that make him respected by many people around the world. His death was in Hawaii in a confrontation with Hawaiian in 1779.

HMS Somerset is a Type 23 frigate of the Royal Navy. She is the eleventh ship of the class to join the fleet since 1989. She was built by Yarrow Shipbuilders Ltd on the River Clyde, in Scotland and was launched in June 1994 by Lady Elspeth Layard, wife of then 2nd Sea Lord Admiral and Commander-in-Chief Naval Home Command Admiral Sir Michael Layard. She entered service in 1996. Lady Layard is the ship's sponsor. She is named after the Dukedom of Somerset.
The fourth Somerset to serve in the Royal Navy, she has inherited four battle honours from previous ships of the name; Vigo Bay (1702), Velez Malaga (1704), Louisburg (1758) and Quebec (1759). The previous ships all served during the 18th century and ensured that the name Somerset played a significant part in that period of naval history.
Somerset's home port is HMNB Devonport. The ship has the Freedom of the City of Wells and is also affiliated with the County of Somerset, the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries, the 2nd and 4th Battalions of The Rifles (inherited from affiliation with the Royal Green Jackets), TS Weston and TS Queen Elizabeth Sea Cadet Units, Downside, Baytree and Helles Schools, Bridgwater College and the Somerset Legion House of The Royal British Legion. The 19th Duke of Somerset takes a keen interest in the ship and is a regular visitor, and the ship also hosted Harry Patch, Simon Weston (in place of Johnson Beharry) and Marcus Trescothick whilst docked at Avonmouth for a remembrance service to launch the 2008 British Legion Poppy Appeal.[2]
Operational history[edit]

She was joined on this deployment by landing platform dock Bulwark, as Hudson's flagship, landing platform helicopter Ocean, Type 23 frigate Argyll and four ships of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary.[4]

On 23 April 2015, with the Border Force cutter Valiant, she intercepted the Tanzanian-registered tug Hamal in the North Sea about 100 miles off Aberdeen, leading to the seizure of more than three tons of cocaine, believed to be at the time the single largest seizure of a Class A drug in the UK.[9] It was announced that she would provide security for the 2015 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting along with HMS Bulwark.
In Autumn 2015, she carried out security patrols in support of the European Heads of Government meeting in Malta.
In November 2015, she visited Valencia - the first Royal Navy ship to do so in a number of years.[11] While there, she met a delegation led by Juan Carlos Valderrama Zurián, the Central Government Representative for the Valencia region, and hosted a lunch to thank representatives of various Armed Forces charities for their work.[11] In December 2015, she returned to port after performing guard duties at the 2015 CHOGM.[

DATOS EXTRAIDOS DE WIKIPEDIA
Navy Flake, Navy cut, Navy tobacco was at one time Virginia tobaccos, as Burley did not exist until later in tobacco history. In colonial times sailors twisted tobacco into a roll and "tied it tightly, often moistening the leaves with rum, molasses, or spice solutions." Stored in this way the flavors melded. To smoke it a slice was cut, known as a "twist" or "curly". Eventually all twisted tobacco, and then pressed tobacco, became known as "Navy" "because of the convenience for sailors and outdoorsmen who favored its compact size "and long-lasting, slow-burning qualities."[1] Navy Flake tobacco is pressed into bricks and sliced into broad flakes. [
Navy Flake, taille Navy, le tabac Navy était autrefois le tabac de Virginie, Burley n’existant plus que dans l’histoire du tabac. À l'époque coloniale, les marins tordaient le tabac en rouleau et le "nouaient étroitement, en humidifiant souvent les feuilles avec du rhum, de la mélasse ou des solutions d'épices". De cette manière, les saveurs se sont mélangées. Pour fumer une tranche a été coupée, connue sous le nom de "twist" ou "bouclé". Finalement, tous les tabacs tordus, puis pressés, devinrent "Marine" en raison de leur commodité pour les marins et les amateurs de plein air qui préféraient sa taille compacte "et ses qualités de longue durée de combustion lente". [1] Le tabac Navy Flake est pressé en briques et coupées en larges flocons [2].
