So, Wazza,
You sleep on your stomach, huh.
You mentioned earlier that Australia is starting or thinking of starting a Coast Guard. Has the job been a Navy responsibilty?
I find it hard to imagine cruisers and destroyers chasing down smuggler's motorboats. Would it be an actual military branch or only when a national emergency or war is declared? Personally, I hope it's a full-time branch; they'll be a front-line force against terrorism.
Seen a few clips on TV about the Australian life-guards racing their boats through the surf - Really impressive! Suppose you could arm them, but they'd have to row a lot faster.
