OK, I wasn't sure about that X. I just seemed to remember that she was still carried as an honorary active ship of the line in respect for those who crewed here and still lie within her hull. I've visited the Memorial twice, and it is a very moving experience to do so I must say. If ever there is a place where ghosts live, it is there.
