Mr Sellars has written an excellent article about my vessel, the Cable Innovator.  To follow on from the comment below, "It wasn't Me" is correct in that it should be "The Queen of the United Kingdom and the President of the United States", a minor point in an otherwise factually accurate report.  We toast our Head of State out of tradition, and accord the same courtesy to foreign Heads of State.  As well as being Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Nation, the Queen/President are honoured as the "Master of the Merchant Marine & Fishing Fleets."  Remember that many of the crews of our Merchant Navies and Fishing Fleets in both nations supported our Armed Forces over the centuries and made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom of others.  The person of the President is irrelevant in this context - he is the Head of State of the United States, Democrat or Republican we respect the office irrespective of the office holder.
