As a courtesy we invited the medical staff to a CTP at RNH but in the event only one junior officer turned up, the rest, about 120, having caught the train to London.
We were asked if we had received any patients from Nimitz but had to confess that her ITU had more beds than RNH!
It was rumoured at the time that there were areas of the ship that were no-go areas for the regulating staff, effectively gang controlled ghettoes.
I remember thinking that a rouge MTB could cause an awful lot of damage and that was many years pre the Aden incident with USS Cole.
