[edit] Picture of able seaman

Why does this article use a picture of a seaman, the description of which says he's an able seaman? TJSwoboda (talk) 23:39, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

That's a fair point. The reason was that he was doing a task that an OS would also do. The guy right behind him, in fact, is an ordinary seaman. But I did replace that photo. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of an OS lashing down containers, so that one will have to stay for awhile. Cheers. Haus^Talk 00:04, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
