SHIPS OF THE ROYAL NAVY No. 189
ship
brought back into commission in l957 and returned to the Far East.
Punch power
Since her last refit. completed in January. I970. she has been employed on a HomelMcditerranean commission. With her three -t.Sin. single barrel gun mountings. the Seacat anti-aircraft missile system. and two -ltlmm Bolors. the Cavalier still packs a powerful punch. which. when allied to her speed. means that she is still a formidable weapon platform. 'lhis was demonstrated by the results of the Western Fleet Anti.-\ircral'l Trophy competition in which the Cavalier was a runnerup last December and was well placed this June. Although a ship built for speed and weight of armament has little room to spare. and some Cavalier men still sling hammocks (bunks being generally standard in today's Fleet). life is never dull for the ships 12 officers and I80
British exercises. spent nmny weeks as planeguard for H .M.S. Ark Royal. acted as target ship for submarine commanding officers in training. and been guardship l'or the Lieutenant Governor of the Channel Islands (ViceAdniiral Sir Charles Mills).

I see that H.M.S. Eagle is to take a ship‘s bell to New Zcaland for presentation to a school in New Plymouth. The bell may have belonged to one of two ships. Zealandia or New Zcaland. In December. I9I5. the Zea|andia assisted in the evacuation of Australian and New Zealand troops from Anzac and Su vla Bay beaches. Our boats took them to a troop carrier and then to the Zcalandia. where we gave them a spread. after which they were shown round the ship. In a party I took round was a young New Zealander who asked to see the ship's hell. When shown it. he said. "Do you know. I took threcpcnce to school to 'hc|p to buy that bell." This man. if still alive. may rememberthe incident. VI’. G. Holbruw (ex-CPO. R.N.)

Later. as the three tmpped men waited for rescue irt their forward compartment. with only an emergency lamp and four hand torches to provide light. the air grew stale and thick. After his escape CPO Guest said. "It vars tough getting up through the hatch as the water rushed down. I got out last. It vvasjust great to see the sunshine again.': On her last commission and scheduled for scrapping in a year. the Artemis had been due to sail in late July for service in the West Indies.

Double dramafor
‘doggie duo’
Flaming Julie ended in a blaze of drama for the coastal survey ships H.M.S. Bulldog and H.M.S. lie-agle. currently working among the tin_\ Seychelle Islands. ()n .ltine 30 the Beagle received an 5.03. call from the King Fu. :i ('hinese fishing.vessel which had run aground on a coral reef near
Alphonse Island. 240 miles
siIttlh~\\'e\t of Nlahe. After ti rough. ll-I-hour trip. the H_vdrographer‘s canine duo arrived to find that the naturalist cruise ship. .\lV Linbald Explorer had taken off 22 crew members. one with a fractured skull. The two survey ships returned the men to Victoria where another emergency call was received. from the Chung Yu. which was in trouble on the same reef. Arriving back at Alphonse Island at first light on July -'1. the ships‘ companies set about the task of rescuing the crew. after big seas forced the abandonment of salvage attempts.
During the difficult operation. the Beagle's first lieutenant tl.ieut. C. S. Ciobey J and the coxsuain of the Bulldog's Gemini dinghy (LS J. F. Burton) showed considerable skill and bravery.

Different for the Prince
at Dartmouth. _
There is a certainty of the future built upon the standards of the past, in an establishment with the resilience to meet the impact of modern times and the fierce scrutiny being directed on every aspect of our national life.
when Prince Charles enters the Royal Navy on September 15, he will find a Dartmouth very different from that experienced by former membersof the Royal Family. and his personal approach to a naval career forms part of the
change.the Service
turns more to university men for its officers. the Prince is under the entering graduate entry scheme as an acting sub-lieutenant in the Seaman branch. to serve for three to five years. Before joining the guided miwile destroyer H. M. 5. Norfolk for training afloat. he will spend six weeks at Dartmouth the usual period for young officers from university selected lor the “accelerated stream" because of theirexperience of service undertaken before lull-time entry. The Prince's main study at the college will be a basic introduction to the organization and structure of the Royal Navy, with special attention to navigation and seamanship. He will be continuing a Floyal association with the Service lasting nearly two centuries. —
What a super yacht beyond the private purse of all but the wealthy few. At Dartmouth they have several yachts ln which cadets get thereal "feel of the sea" and gain valuable experience to complement their training In warships.

The six Butters of the Portland Squadron held a daily convention while in Copenhagen, and rounds of each ship were followed by a chat at the convenient hour of noon. Attendance was voluntary. but it cost any absentee a barrel which probably accounted for the ease with which Osprey Chiel Photographer Charles H. Thompson got them together! They are, left to right, the Palllser’s John Purdie. Roy Langtord (Grenville). Brian Humphreys (Hardy). Pop Hooper (Undaunted).

House loans beyond industry Sailors’ Fund
"Perl-ts" of nowadays often include such useful privileges as loans for the purchase of houses or cars (sometimes interest-free! and its was not unnatural that an approach on these lines should be ntade to the Sailors‘ Fund.
.-\t the last meeting of the fund's Grants (‘ommittee soine time was dexoted to discussing a sttggesliun front Rl-"..-‘ti .-Mack that the proxision of house loans should be considered.
The committee were in‘ no doubt that such a move would be most popular. but the facts of the situation gaye their own reply.
l'he fund's total capital is £L'.70t)_00tl. The amount outstanding under the oificial scheme for house purchase deposits is of the order of £4.b'll(l.l'lllt| and that is much more limited in scope than the idea ptit forward b_\ Rl'..-\l :\l:h.‘l\‘. it was unlikely. therefore. that even the total capital of the fttnd would sutfice to meet the demand. Other doubts were cast upon the proposal. For instance. it was unlikely that any insurance company would be prepared to issue a policy to coyer defaults in payments. or any that did would demand a very substantial premium. l.\'TEREST There was also the difficulty that it would undoubtedly be necessary to employ professional stali. and the administratixe costs w ould therefore be high. Weighing all things up. even if the lack of capital were not it limiting factor. it would be most unlikely that the interest rate necessary to cm er costs would be less than that charged by building societies a fact borne out by the smaller mutual (non profit—
makingl societies.

in the light of these arguments. the committee were unable to proceed with the idea. but nevertlteless they welcomed the fact that REAI Atack had been sufficicntly interested in the fund to put forward the suggestion. The committee were hopeful that other members of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines would not hesitate to put forward ideas.
One frequently subject discussed in relation to the Sailor~' Fund is that of c\peditions and e\pct.iition training. and the committee considered a paper by the secretary on the finance mailable. "I he} were agreed that the paper rnade ll clear that there was at the present time insttificient money il\Rtll£Il"lL' to meet all the demands for assistance of thi~ '
sort.
in the course of the discussion. howet er. it was apparent that the committee did not consider that many applications for assistance with e\pcditions would meet the criterion laid down by the Trustees that the fund's resources sllllllld be used to gi\L‘ the greatest pu\~ll‘lv.' benefit to the greatest pu\'\tl‘lC number of ratings. if a proposal were put forward which met this criterion. the committee would he prepared to consider it on its merits.

They played against four clubs and finished their twoweek stay by flying to Livingstone to see the Victoria Falls, and spending three days sightseeing in the game parks on theZambesi. Finding a Mauritian team was not so easy becausethe island boasts only three rugby clubs, H.M.S. Mauritius being one of them. But 22 players flew to Zambia to be accommodatedin the homes of Diggers club members.
