Was it the Royal or Merchant Service? If Merchant, then the National Archives online have downloadable records of medals awarded. Otherwise I dont think anyone would know what ship/ships your dad served on unless you buy his service record from the navy. Google for WW2 Naval Records and you should get the info you need. Normally about £30 I think. Good luck.
