Ships have been manned with these lads for decades now, senior officers tend to be Europeans etc. I’d imagine getting a job crewing a ship is much like being accepted to be a Gurkha…..that’s them secure for life and prepared to be away from home for long periods of time.

Amazing feat of a gurkha here mate..blew his fingers off and damaged his arm and face throwing back a hand grenade and still fought on killing dozens..what a man.. Of the 87 enemy dead counted in the immediate vicinity of the Company locality, 31 lay in front of this Rifleman's section, the key to the whole position. Had the enemy succeeded in over-running and occupying Rifleman Lachhiman Gurung's trench, the whole of the reverse slope position would have been completely dominated and turned. This Rifleman, by his magnificent example, so inspired his comrades to resist the enemy to the last, that, although surrounded and cut off for three days and two nights, they held and smashed every attack. His outstanding gallantry and extreme devotion to duty, in the face of almost overwhelming odds, were the main factors in the defeat of the enemy.[1] Lachhiman Gurung - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quite right, Wilfy. Almost 50 years ago I did some work on a “Round Table Class” RFA vessel, same as the Sir Galahad that was sunk in the Falklands War. The Chief Engineer was American and the below deck crew were Chinese, Formosans, actually, but the Captain and Officers were British. Nothing new to having TCN crews. Cheers.

Francie, 1,727 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Taken from synergys website the company that ran the ship At Synergy we want a workplace that is truly characterized by inclusion and belonging. Diversity for us is more about the variety of our thoughts as a team. Although diversity can be created through deliberate hiring practices, inclusion may not automatically follow. We want our entire workforce to appreciate and show sensitivity to the cultural, and any other, differences that exist in our teams, as well as among the people we interact with in our daily business. We strive to create an environment where everyone feels they belong Quote Link to post Share on other sites
