Thanks for all suggestions but I really don't think I will get any further.

To find out details about service personnel you need their service records.

Contact details and how to apply for them are in the wiki section of FTF posted earlier.

Applicants for service records should be the eldest next of kin, a charge is made for searching and supplying records but widows of service personnel do not have to pay.

Whippet Lady,

Try the TNA website and look at the guides to the ADM class of records.

Frank, it would be better to start a new thread for search, as this one is about the Navy.

Can anyone tell me where I can look to find out a little bit more on where/when my father was in the Navy? He was born in 1941 so would be late 1950's.
