In this episode, I share my experiences serving on my first minehunter, HMS Gavington, a wooden Ton-class vessel with a crew of around 40 men. It was a steep learning curve for a young Royal Navy diver, and this podcast covers some of the memorable, dangerous, and sometimes hilarious moments from my time onboard.Stories include:* My first impressions of life aboard HMS Gavington* Recovering practice torpedoes on my first diving operations* My first trip to Belfast and the Gordon Highlanders* Getting a painful lesson from my Dive Officer* Hull and sonar dome inspections where I came face to face with a dead dog underwater* My first experience on the Bofors gun, which quickly turned into chaos* Hunting live mines in Blackwater and the dangers involved in disposing of them* Nearly drowning while unshackling active rudders in heavy seas* Leaving the ship AWO and the trouble that followed when I was eventually chargedThis is a collection of true stories from the early days of my Royal Navy career, showing the realities of life at sea, diving operations, military discipline, and the camaraderie that made it all worthwhile.
