Have anyone observed that our lady is 46 years old today? The ship was launched May 11 1960 by Madame Yvonne de Gaulle, wife of the French President, General Charles de Gaulle.

Let's hope this will not be the very last of her birthdays.

I'm afraid time has finally caught up with the Norway. From what I('ve read, she's being towed to Alang as I write this reply.

I know many think going to a break yard is amongst the worst things that could happen to her. I disagree, recycling steel is always better than digging up more iron ore.
