I would like to invite fellow Nautilus members to visit our new Falklands memorial bench in Pickering Park, Hull.
The bench was unveiled in April this year, around the 42nd anniversary of the start of the Falklands War. It is dedicated to the nine Hull vessels and their crews who supported the Falklands Task Force.
At the unveiling, we were pleased to welcome Falkland Islander Diane Clune, as well as the family of Roy 'Wendy' Gibson, a steward on the ferry Norland, which was requisitioned as a troop carrier for the 2nd Battalion, Parachute Regiment.
We will continue to remember and support our comrades from the Falklands War.

It’s never right to attack civilian seafarers
I was saddened to see the footage of the attack by Ukraine on the two tankers in the Black Sea on 29 November. My heart goes out to the crew and officers who are, in my mind, not combatants in the Russia/Ukraine war.
There's no crisis in the yacht sector
I read Rob Coston's interview with yacht sector recruitment agent Max Lee on your website and found it sensationalist. In my opinion, it incorrectly described the situation regarding safety in yachting as a 'crisis'.
Expertise needed for my student cybersecurity survey
I am a first-year cadet, with experience as a rating, who is conducting a survey on the shipside adaptation of cybersecurity practices, and I would be extremely grateful if fellow Nautilus members could complete a short survey for me.
