How do you look after a deployment?

As a watched this video, all I could think of is - they just got back from a 5-month deployment.

Look at the condition of the ships. Look at the uniforms and general squared away nature of the Sailors.

I'm sorry - but appearances matter and can tell you a lot about the rest of a Navy; just ask the Imperial Russian Navy after the Russian-Japanese War a bit over a century ago.

I don't know about you - but it makes me want a whole bunch of Chinese BM1s.
