DAVID I meant do a web search for HMS Bacchante. I just did and there are a few sites. King George V was indeed a crewmember and spent some time aboard, together with his brother Prince Albert Victor. Ian |

Thanks Ian, I'll check on that. Have already tried the web sites but all they say ishe followed a naval career before becoming heir - no real specifics. David |

David The name HMS Bacchante comes to mind. It was a cruiser but I don't remember whether he served on board or was more a passenger. Try a websearch with this name and perhaps you will find out more. Ian |

Do any of you naval buffs out there know the name of the ship(s) that the future King George V served on during his time in the navy prior to becoming heir to the throne?? I have just found out that my ggfather spent 13 years in the navy in the late 1800's and that at some point he served under the future king. Many thanks, |
