Thanks for the add. I am an ex-Royal Navy radio operator from the 1970's, but the reason I am looking to post on here is because of my Father, Lewis Hale, an RN signalman from WW2. In his time, apart from serving aboard RN ships, he also served aboard ships from other Allied Navies and Merchant marines of other countries. I was hoping to gain some useful info from the people on this forum. Thanks
