Hi folks,

I'm looking for information from former or current serving navy personal, preferably command, or bridge personnel.
I'm writing a new novel (Which while its in progress will be posted on the outhouse for critique) set during the second world war. The early stages will take place aboard a British Town Class Cruiser off the west coast of Africa. While most experience won't be directly relevant I'm sure, (unless we have any ww2 vets here!) naval procedures and traditions haven't changed much in the last 100 years, so any advice is welcomed.

Anyone able to help out, please PM me, and we can talk. (Any assistance will be credited)

Many thanks!

Suggest you refine your request to bridge personnel from the UK navy; there is and was a world of difference between the organization and operations of the Royal Navy (and it's affiliates) and the U.S. Navy.
 
You are correct... to an extent. A lot of US navy traditions came over from the Royal Navy, and what I'm interested in is not tactical procedures or methods of operation, more interaction between bridge personnel. Yes its different, but every little helps. If there are any former Royal Navy folk around... perfect, if not... anything I can get adds to the informational pool.
 
I'm Army, so all I remember about the Navy is "Splicing the Main Brace".

I do have that down though.
