		While the ship and part of her owners were at sea, the remainder in interest were busily employed at home preparing an outfit for the succeeding voyage.
		A man-of-war's-man may anchor in the rollers in the bars of well-known harbors, and be held to her surging cables, with imminent risk to the ship and death to part of her crew, although, confessedly, to retrieve the error, they have but to slip their cables and drift into the calm harbor in full sight.
		We were dashing blindly on, but with good steerage-way, and the ship answered quickly to her helm, although she ran deep by the head on account of the accumulated ice on her bows and head-hamper.

	Nimrod Was Actually a Good Hunter: Upgrading Britain's Fleet (updated) (defense acquisition, defence purchasing, ...
		In the face of the Soviet threat to the West's vital sea lanes and thus its reinforcements in the event of war, long-range maritime patrol aircraft were a high priority for the western alliance.
		The Nimrod bomb bay can carry both torpedos (including the new Stingray) and AGM-84 Harpoon missiles; Nimrods were also fitted to carry AIM-9L Sidewinder short-range air-to-air missiles on underwing pylons during the 1982 Falklands War.
		Apparently, many of the Nimrods were originally built with a low level of standardization, and that fact combined with the effects of many years service in salt water conditions has worked to complicate the upgrade process as well.

		Sometimes, the little ship would quiver and groan in response, her wooden timbers straining as the pressure from millions of tons of ice, set in motion by some faraway disturbance, at last reached her resting place and nipped at her resilient sides.
		Their ship, Endurance, was trapped at latitude 74 [degrees] south, deep in the frozen waters of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.
