Long shot this. I had an oppo on the Superb in 1955 who had rather a long and colourful name, (SA(V) Michael Carol Richard Sidney Smith.All searches through the normal channels failed to produce results and he's not a member of the Association. Anyone out there know his whereabouts?

A friend recently acquired an obviously British Navy badge inscribed with Superb and apparently a motto which reads our swords we bare our spirits dare. Might someone know if this relates to S 109 or another?
Thank you! it's an unsolved mystery to us.

I played the ukulele with the harmonica band and the skiffle group called "The Stewballs" which was part of the concert party on the 1956/7 East Indies Cruise. I used to play guitar with an electrician whose name I can't recall. And I wonder does anyone know Ginger Dunne or know of his whereabouts. We were based at Trincolamee and visited the east coast of Africa, Mombassa being fondly remembered.

My Dad, Jack Evans, who died in 1971, was CPO J R Evans (Mech.E) (KX86674, served as a chief stoker on HMS Superb during the voyage to the Persian Gulf in 1956/57. I personally remember the ship returning to Chatham, waiting on the dockside, with the band playing and the ship coming alongside, flags flying and lined with sailors, including my Dad. My Mum, Gran and I were allowed on board and we had our photographs taken and published in the local Chatham newspapers, because my Dad was a local - born in Rochester - although we lived in London at the time. I was 10 years old and it made a fantastic impression on me - one that I have never forgotten. Does anyone remember my Dad? Taff Evans (of course!!).

My father Leading Signalman Frederick Howell joined the Royal Navy in 1914 or 1915 as Boy Signalman and served in WWOne on the Superb of that time.I have an enamel brooch with the ships badge which my father told me he bought for his Mother at that time. The badge is not like the current one shown on the shown on the website.It appears to be a sun with rays emanating in a circle. Can you tell meif the cruising " Superb" visited Torbay in the late 1940./early 1950s? I have vague memories of having been in a pub in Torquay where we were on holiday and the bar was filled with sailors with "Superbn" cap tallies. My father informed all and sundry that he had served in the "Superb" in WWOne and insisted on buying many of them a drink! If you would like to have the badge to join any other memorabilia you may have it.
Best wishes Ron Howell ex Ldg Sea Oggie Waffling Division
P.s. Your description of Chatham Gentlemen could also be applied to us Oggies.

Joined SuperB April 1956 left Sept 1957.
I remember the Suez muckup and the trip to Sweden where the hospitality was a eye opener to me being SO young and I might add innocent. What a great ship it was. Was a EM and the skipper The RH Earl Cairns. I still bore people with the tales of my first seagoing ship
