Product Information
Join Chris Neylan as he walks through the gates of HMS Ganges on the start of a remarkable journey with the Royal Navy of the 60s and 70s. From raw recruit to experienced sailor, enjoy this first-hand account of the ups and downs of life in the Senior Service. Thousands of ex-Navy personnel will know HMS Ganges and its critical role in training men for a career at sea. Learn about life at the base and how Chris fared. Later, we?ll join him as he sets sail with various ships including HMS Torquay (and being told off by Prince Charles), HMS Gurkha (witnessing apartheid) and HMS Excellent. This true, amusing and entertaining account does not mask the sometimes brutal Ganges regime and, near the book's end, the similar yet harsher regime at Portsmouth Detention Quarters.Product Identifiers
