I was in a fleet sweeper, lovely new things, two-thirds the length of a destroyer. Up to last August we led a very peaceful and secluded life, just cruising round. It was not entirely devoid of interest, as we crossed the Equator four times and visited Bombay, Kenya and Durban where I went up for my first flight in an amphibian Walrus. In September we ran into a spot of trouble, and since then I have lived rather a nomadic existence, having served in 'Ramillies' and 'Juno' (a new class 'J' destroyer) when we assisted at Taranto. We finished our passing out exams, last Thursday—navigation, ship construction, signals and oral seamanship."
