Not sure its the same but I got hold of a list through the job and its on here as Chatham Dockyard  Dockings 1951-1983 if anyone is interested. Quite a nice memory jogger  of when I was on various vessels during the 60s and 70s.

I was a dockyard crane driver / stoker too.  I recall - no navy personal - that I remember +
I would have noticed - if the Tug had different colours - from all the other tugs - Good topic thou !

I did. Which confirms it was not HMS Emulous as that vessel had departed Chatham by that time, but Emulous (ex Empire Spruce) which was serving at Chatham during that period as a civilian manned harbour tug.


And unless I'm mistaken the grandarog info is from the doc I supplied that covered refits and dockings at Chatham.


And just to confirm, when you went to relieve the man in question you were a civilian?
