How many cannon? What's the weight of her broadside?

None and nothing. Perhaps a saluting pop gun?

Health and Safety rules prevent loading and firing cannon on a training ship.

What the fuck are they training for?

Peace?

You can never have enough training if peace decides to break out

I suspect most of the passengers aren't the slightest bit interested in actually leaving the ship (after one time ashore).

What they're really buying is the ability to play "one upsmanship" at home.

It's a lot less money to just fly to Kaktovik, stay at the Waldo, and take a few Polar bear pics. You won't be pampered like a baby, though.

LONDON (AP) — British coast guards rescued crew members from a damaged cargo ship taking on water in the English Channel Sunday as rain and strong winds lashed England's south coast.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency said the 650-foot (200-meter) Saga Sky hit a barge full of rocks after losing power and breaking free of its anchor near Dover. A tug was dispatched to tow it to safety.

The agency said 11 of the 23 crew members were winched to safety by helicopters; the rest remained aboard to help get the vessel moving. The ship's hull was damaged but there was no sign of pollution in the water, coast guards said...
