Toasts

[edit]
Moved from Talk:Toasts of the Royal Navy

The Canadian Navy or more accurately "Maritime Command" modified the toasts of the day in the 1990's in keeping with the changing nature of the service. Monday - Our Ships Tuesday - Our Sailors (as "men" is very gender specific) Wednesday - Ourselves Thursday - Our Navy Friday - Our Nation Saturday - Our Families Sunday - Absent Friends


The article said that the part in brackets are never said out loud. However, for the toast of the day for saturday, I had always seen it practiced that after the toast "Our wives and sweethearts", the youngest sailor present is to quip "may they never meet". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.146.123.118 (talk) 21:29, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
