Anyone know any good sites for navy research, 1942 - 1955 period?
I'm at last trying to get to grips with my dad's records. I have a list of ships, with dates, and I have managed to find some of them by googling eg submarines Sceptre, Subtle, Token & Trump, cruiser Euryalus, aircraft carrier Eagle, and "Depot ships" (eg Forth & Wolfe).
I know nothing about the navy :( But I gather some of these "ships" are actually shore-based establishments (for training?), How can I find out which & where?
I've spent the afternoon googling for names like mercury, dolphin & drake, and quite honestly I'm fed up of trawling through loads of irrelevant hits.
Off to feed OH now, will hopefully be back later (if I get chance before cranford).
