VERSE FROM A NURSE

British Rail do not permit my son. a signalman with the Roval Fleet Auxiliary. to travel from Stafford to Portsmouth via Euston (two trains) on a warrant. A travel warrant means going by the cheapest route so he changed trains five times and the journey took six hours.

.\'o doubt someone will say that ex ndtture has had to be trimmed. but don't tell me that efenee cuts mean the can't run to a few extra hoh for the most efficient way to get a man on leave and back.

After his late arrival at Portsmouth. he turned up sualicd to the skin at the re-styledRoyal Sailors‘ Home Club .ind was promptly turned away because he happened to he one of those nasty rough Merchant sailors I should quickly add that my son is es-R..\. and changed to the R.F.A. to get some sea time in!

Once bitten, twice of shy

Having just read the letter by R. G. Allen (April). I feel I must put him right when he states. "By letting his property to MOD Navy he is. in return. virtually assured of repossession on demand and can sit back hap py in the knowledge that his property will be carefully looked after. or. if not. then the damage will he made good at no cost to him.“ .

We decided

letting

Four weeks after thev moved in the tenants had a fire resulting in out having to put the house into a habitable condition a total of three da_vs at our Cost. again Early this year came their notice to quit and we travelled to do the inventory. only to find the house a disgusting. filthy. smelly mess.

The pension people teii us that the writer appears to have ignored the main advantage of the neu resettlement scheme. which is that at the age 55 the pension given up for the lump sum is restored. together with accrued pensions increases.

What his letter does. they say. is to highifiht the chief disadion oi "indexation" vantage of the old life commutation uehetne on the pension commuted and the fact that the pension commuted was lost for life.

With resettlement commutation. it is known from the outset exactly how much has to be "repaid" to secure the tax-tree immediate capital sum. since only "uniodeaed" pension is given up for a limited period. Editor.

oil

As the long-running pay saga subsides and the net results of countless words are coolly calculated in hard cash tenns. it remains to

be seen which aspects of the debate will prove of lasting si nificance.

Fierce itical cut and thrust was inevitable. questions like who leaked what. and to whom. formed a tale in themselves.

One could be forgiven for believing that imagination played no small pan in some of the colourful reports appearing.

On the trade union / federation issue. the suspicion is that the last word has not been heard. But what of the Services wives‘ movement. claimed to be flourishing and about to make a "personal appearance" in London. A development of moment ,— or

vvhd):

passing phenomenon’?

But the real question. surely. is whether on mature consideration the men and women of the Service now feel they will not only achieve. but also maintain. their just desens in the long-tenn. Seldom does anyone get all he seeks in a less than ideal world. but there may well be general acceptance that the award and its promise were the best that was to be had.

Ultimately the individual Serviceman decides on personal evidence such as career rospccts. rewards and loyalties where his uture lies. Ever the blunt realist. he at least now knows where he stands. The hope is that in the package he will see an assured future.

On another page are set out the rules for making a private radio telephone call to a Navy ship at sea. As explained. the Royal official word stresses that only in extreme ur ency should the procedure be attempted. vervone must realize that warships are around for good operational and trainin reasons. that conditions can be difficult an manpower at a premium. But the existence of such a facility. unknown to older enerations. must be a source of some com on for families who are separated.

All should appreciate the reasons for the limitations and avoid abuses. E ually. those responsible for its operation wil no doubt. ensure that in genuine cases eve 'effort is made within the rules to make t is useful facility operate as smoothlyand humanely as '

As oil from the wrecked tanker Eleni V transfonned Great Yarrnouth's Golden Mile into the "Mucky Mile." Royal Navy vessels were at sea sprayin the slicks to prevent further pollution. avy aid was also considerable when the supertanker Amoco Cadiz spewed thousands of tons of oil into the Channel and on to the Brittany coast.

While East Anglia and Britanny curse the oil and count the cost. the questions remain: “What can be done to prevent such incidents'."‘ and "How prepared are we to deal with them?"

The task of dealing with oil pollution at sea rests with the Department of Trade. while the Department of the Environment and local authoritiesdeal with any oil which comes ashore.

The MOD has no direct responsibilitiesother than

in Naval ports and harbour areas. and in observing regulations governing the discharge of oil from ships.

Large-scale accidents

It is. however. recognized that the Services may have a part to play in reaetin to oil pollution incidents. nicularly lar -sca accidents. and may be cal ed on to resources for tackling spills which threaten the coastline.

What methods exist for tackling an oil spill when it has occurred? If there is no danger of coasts bein polluted. and there are no other likely casua ties. such as bird life. it is simplest to let the oil and disperse natural! 2 But this is rarely t case. Once an oil has occurred. it is cheaper and more effective to deal with it at sea. water results in a lower Dealing with oil in concentration of oil. a this obviously has less effect on birds. fish and other marine life than if the oil is allowed to wash into bays and over shallow banks and beaches.

This untreateable mass may be as much as half the original oil volume.

Another disadvantage of bombin and bumin is that the oil tanks are rupture by interna explosions and release of all the oil at once is likely to overwhelm the anti-pollution ships in their struggle to keep it front the beaches.

Since the Torrey Canyon new dispersants have been deseare at thousand times less toxic. In effective spra 'ing system a dition. a highl of dealing developed for use y ships is with large amounts of s illcd oil at sea.

The L.K. has acapabi ity of dealing with 16.1!!! tons of oil a day by this method. and the Navy provides a quarter of this capability. Spray ear is carried by naval base tugs and the fin: is and class offshore patrol vessels. and in a large-scale emergency other RMAS harbour craft and mine counterrneasurcrs vessels could be quickly fitted out for spraying.

Recovery is obviousl a desirable way of dealing with spilled oil. ut a successful method has been hard to find. Hundreds of su estions have been explored all met the world. ut few of any ractical value have been found.

The .'avy is now building its own oil slommcn after it five year one for each naval base research programme. Although designed for inshore waters. they can be used at sea in calm II-cathcr con'di'ii'ons.

Six of these rccoyery craft are now being built

All oils have a self-dispersing ability and some notably most North Sea oils and liluifislt in particular will disappear within a few days. it was the south coast's good fortune that the Amoco Cadiz cargo was a light crude oil with nod tnpcrtics.

There's plenty of fresh air and fun for all the family at the Southwick Park Naval Recreation Centre. Children have the freedom of large, sale areas in which to play, with plenty of scope for their imagination. There are miles of country walks by the lake and in the woodland areas. where the children can run and be free. while their parents relax.

Our two boys ride each Saturday on a small pony which happily trots along throu h the count lanes. Lessons are given at regu ar intervals. nd you cannot start too early our younger boy is only three.

Stewart is a leading radio operator in H.M.S. Mercury. He first heard about the SPNRC when he was serving in H.M.S. Glamorgan. At that time he visited Southwick Park to see what the Centre had to offer and he found a place where he could "get away from it all."

Their caravan allows them to stay overnight at week-ends so they can enjoy two days of uninterrupted peace and tranquillity, with the attraction; or a pteasam clubhouse (where snacks are provided and children are made welcome). an adventure playground with swings, a tree house, climbing frames and a slide, and the use of H.M.S.
