Injured Canadian Sailor Airlifted to Sligo

Wow, never thought I'd see a "Red Deck" on the tankers. And as for SWOAD, when I was there it was the new up and coming thing. We did all the trials and even did a portion of Air WUPs. Well I should be back at sea next APS so I guess it's going to be interesting.

Thanks for the info JJ.

At one time, the deck was down to Black.

Okay, you've got me curious - as an old fart who last sailed with a bunch of firefighters to handle any helo emergencies, what is this black deck and red deck referring to?

Green deck - good to go
Red deck - caution (swoad for instance)
Black deck - can not use (in our case it was because the deck was for a time structurally unsound and unsafe until major replacement of armoured decking was completed)
