THE TIME OF YOUR LIVES NAVY NEWS looks back through its pages to recall some of the May headlines of past decades...

40 years ago THE DUKE of Edinburgh, Captain-General of the Royal Marines, accepted the Freedom of the City of Portsmouth on behalf of the Corps. Presentation of an illuminated scroll took place at Eastney barracks. Navy News asked why no current ship bore the name of the Navy's greatest hero, and suggested that one of the new Tiger-class cruisers should be named HMS Nelson.

30 years ago DURING trials in the Channel, Cdr Freddie Hefford and Lt Cdr R. Burns piloted two Phantom jet fighters in a touch-and-go first landing of the type on a British carrier - HMS Eagle. Full arrested landing was due to take place the following month. Sixty-three warships from 12 NATO countries took part in a Royal Review at Spithead to mark the 20th anniversary of the Alliance.

20 years ago THE ARMED Services received an average 24.2 per cent pay rise to bring Service people nearer to comparability with civilians. In its report the Armed Services Pay Review Body recognised the welldocumented problems of overstretch and serious manpower loss. Thousands of Maltese lined Grand Harbour to watch the departure of the Royal Navy at the end of a British Service presence in the islands of • HMS London - the last Royal Navy ship to Malta lasting almost two centuries.
