Lying at Anchor
Lying at Anchor
A Mulberry-type temporary harbour, enabling a futuristic Fleet to lie safely at anchor. Repairs are carried out, and munitions are replenished. The High Seas Fleet is under orders to engage and destroy the tyrant once and for all.
The crews work quietly, feverishly, and passionately. They know that freedom and democracy, their very way of life is at stake.
Lives will be lost today on both sides, but all know that this mighty High Seas Fleet will prevail. They have within the sinews of their being, Trafalgar, Jutland, and Midway, and the enemy knows this only too well.
The men and women serving today, will NOT let their grandfathers and ancestors down.

Ken Webb is a writer and proofreader. His website, kennwebb.com, showcases his work as a writer, blogger and podcaster, resting on his successive careers as a police officer, progressing to a junior lawyer in succession and trusts as a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives, a retired officer with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, and latterly, for three years, the owner and editor of two lifestyle magazines in Liverpool.
He also just handed over a successful two year chairmanship in Gloucestershire with Cheltenham Regency Probus.
Pandemic aside, he spends his time equally between his city, Liverpool, and the county of his birth, Gloucestershire.
In this fast-paced present age, proof-reading is essential. And this skill also occasionally leads to copy-editing writers’ manuscripts for submission to publishers and also student and post graduate dissertations.
