HI Rog

Well I think we have cleared up a lot of questions.
I became a member of the site reccomended by Sheila M, they gave me a great reception, and assistance with my RN research, after a couple of days this is what they uncovered. >

HMS Rampant ( ex Empire Sentinel. ex Phaedra )
Wreck location and dispersal vassal, English Channel

HMS Badger ( Shore Base )
RNXS Parkeston Quay ( yet to find where that is )

Thanks to all for their help.   Scouse

HMS EUROPA was the  Homebase in Lowestoft for the RNPS. RNPS base in Harwich Parkstone Quay named HMS BADGER
HMS MARTELLO was RNPS base in Lowestoft

Hi Harry thanks for taking an interest in my old post.I should have closed it before now,the good researchers on rootschat helped and pointed me in the right direction, ended up with a load of info about my bro naval service and the ship HMS Rampant, but you have added another little snippet, Harry Tate's Navy, nice one. I did get my Bros service papers, and demob papers which filled in a lot of the gaps for me.
Many thanks  scouse

My  served on HMS Rampant as stoker until it was mined and towed into Ostend for repairs at almost the end of the war. They were en route to Rotterdam in a convoy after picking up a cargo of depth charges and explosives when they passed over a mine. They did not sink but 4 others in the convoy did.
