On tap beer dispenser.
My brother-in-law and I got invited onboard a Dutch minesweeper that was visiting Falmouth. One of the crew was celebrating his 21st and there was a big party onboard. We ended up joining the lads in their crew mess where they had Orangeboom on tap. Very unlike the USA where all the ships are totally dry. We were sh*tfaced and staggered home at about 2am. Got invited back for a proper tour of the ship the next day. Great lads.
I don't think I am in breach of the Official Secrets Act if I reveal that we had Watney's Red Barrel in kegs in HMS Renown.

Not my first choice of beer by a long chalk but better than nothing.

On the boat, a full pantry and a great company.
All around it, a great sea and glorious weather.

He is richest who is content with the least, you know...

That doesn’t tally with jfm’s latest amazing thread🤷‍♂️🤔😳
Why not? I can't speak for him of course, but it's perfectly possible that he shares my values above.
And towards which, how large/luxurious/expensive is the vessel that anyone can afford is neither here nor there.
