Plenty of navies have sailing ships as part of their training fleet. Different skills.
The skill of being the fish in a “shooting fish in the barrel” scenario?
Presumably you’ve never been on a sailing boat. I think a navy using sailing ships to train sailors is exactly what they should be doing. Your posts in here are pretty pathetic and ignorant.

Mexican ship - Team building and leadership exercises are precisely why they have these ships.. militaries spend vast amounts on developing these skill sets, and sailing vessels have long been part of that.. they’re not going to go all pirates of the Caribbean and try to board some drug carrying cigar boat, but everyone form cadets upwards benefits from sailing on boats like these.. we do it in the UK too

Also, the video I saw had one person drop from the rigging onto the deck (or behind the hull), that’s going to severely/fatally injure anyone
Cheers,

It’s a brilliant way of getting teamwork, hard work and routine into them, absolutely essential military skills.

Sailing ships are apparently making a comeback too, they keep saying about container ships using some modern funky sails, more like vertical wings. Seems stupid in an age where efficiency is getting more and more essential that it’s taken this long to even think about sticking sails on ships again :lol:

Thought I’d watch a few minutes of this as it was live on YouTube and ended up locked in for over an hour.

Lewis thinks a lot about having hard drives checked. I wonder if perhaps someone should check his?

We won't ask about the other username....lets just hope it's not crusty.

I hope that vid was used to get him suitably prosecuted. Juke? He'd likely been mincing along prior to that, doubtless with front fogs on. Cunt.
