The McSkunkville Navy · Brisbane, Australia
In Brisbane they say hello twice and mean it once — McSkunkville fixes the ratio. These days, the Brisbane chapter of the fan club meets wherever the coffee is honest, and The town ledger lists Brisbane among friends.
The Navy's first mission was a flood rescue and it never forgot: every hull is built to run TOWARD trouble. The flagship RSS AFFIDAVIT carries no guns that fire first — only lines, lights, and the finest record-keeping afloat.
Admiral Pearl Delacroix-Wendell logs every sortie by hand. 'A rescue unrecorded,' she says, 'is a promise unproven.'
Fleet motto: STEADY. HONEST. HOME.
Worldwide Access — The McSkunkville Navy greets readers in Brisbane and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
