They have the unmistakeable look of conscript serviceman counting how many days of service they have left to do..

Im amazed they have a Navy at all.

The Swiss are not landlocked! They have access to the sea via the Rhine from Basel!
All Swiss regestered yachts who wish to travel outside of Switzerland MUST have their craft registered in Basel as its known in the German language, and Bâle in French. However few yachts take the northern way out, many are shipped by truck to Lyon in France and cranned into the Rhone.
