Just an aside question, does anyone know when the Federal German Navy last did a Fleet Review ? I beleive the last time the American Navy preformed one was in either in 1999 or 2000 during fleet week in NYC for former Pres. Clinton. Also, I bleieve the last time the Royal Navy preformed one was for the Queen's 50th anniv. on the throne. A wonderful post.

Excellent pictures, and it's great to see the SA Naval Ensign in teh wind and sunshine, including the traditional St. George's (well, -ish sort of) cross. I found it hard to suppress a harrumph! about some of South Africa's more recently created state symbols etc. - but the Navy flag looks convincing enough. Thanks to Mr. Cusack for this truly excellent post. Having done my national service in the German Navy I enjoyed this post a lot – and not just because of the MEKO ships.

We look forward to Mr. Cusack's fleet review in 2010, when the 'Royal' Canadian Navy celebrates its 100th. Ready Aye Ready!
