ROYAL YACHT SERVICE TO BE REVIVED

The Royal Yacht Service, which ultimately provide the nucleus of the lower deck complement of the new Royal yacht Britannia launched by Her Majesty the Queen on Clydebank on April 16, has been revived by the Admiralty.

On the instructions of Her Majesty, this crew will be limited to those necessary to maintain the ship and man her for short cruises, but when the Yacht is required for prolonged ocean cruises, additional men will be drafted to her. Officers will normally serve the normal two-year period. It is planned to commission will be strong enough to allow the Yacht at the beginning of a helicopter, carrying patients, 1054 with D full
