After training in the frigate VIGILANT and destroyer CARRON, he served in the cruiser GAMBIA,
fast patrol boat BOLD PATHFINDER, cruiser TIGER, frigates TENBY, EASTBOURNE, RHYL
and AJAX, and then the Commando carrier BULWARK. After spells in training establishments and
on various staffs he returned to sea in Naval Parties, firstly in the RMS QUEEN ELIZABETH 2 for
the Falklands War, and then in RFA RELIANT (a trial mercantile helicopter carrier) for operations off
the Lebanon. Afterwards he was at the Fleet Headquarters at Northwood for almost eight years as one
of the Operations Room Officers. In all he served in the Navy for over 40 years, spending more than
half of that time at sea. Such a wide-ranging career has furthered his interest in ships and the sea. He
has compiled several books about ships and the Navy, and also written the definitive reference books
on Royal Naval Battle Honours and on Shore establishments, as well as writing a history of the Supply and Secretariat (Logistic) Branch of the Navy. For many years he has also been the Editor of, and
written articles for, the magazine Warship World.ver menos
