So to repeat , if anybody knows if and when Electrician's Mates became Electrical Mechanics I would be most grateful . in the afternoon a strong party of the 7th, or South Fencible regiment, and several officers, arrived on board. On the 20th, at 10 a.m., a general muster of the ship's company was made, and the eight men, previously in irons, together with three more, were placed in confinement, and others were subsequently added. A few days afterwards the South Fencibles were relieved by a detachment of the 134th Regt., in number 132, under Lieut.-Colonel Baillie, and with these the Defiance sailed from Leith and returned to the Nore.

Very pleased with badge and the service, would be more than pleased to deal with your company again, well done. H.M.S. Defiant (released as Damn the Defiant! in the United States [2]) is a British naval war CinemaScope and Technicolor film from 1962 starring Alec Guinness and Dirk Bogarde.

English ship Defiance (1588) was an 8-gun pinnace that took part in the action against the Spanish Armada in 1588. Those of your former ilk are recorded on each plaque with their correct electrical branch rate at that time:

I have bought a few badges from your selection, all of a very high standard. The delivery time was first rate, overall an excellent service.Another challenge has been restoring the colour of the carvings. Experts carried out microscopic analysis of the paint the figureheads had been decorated with over the years. HMS Defiance (shore establishment 1884) was the Royal Navy's torpedo school, established in 1884 in the second rate HMS Defiance (1861), and in subsequent ships that were renamed HMS Defiance. These included: During the battle of Trafalgar Defiance and sustained casualties of 57 killed, [10] and 153 wounded. [ citation needed] Final service and fate [ edit ] Theory instruction was dispensed by Officers, practical work by Chiefs. We learnt (?) maths, electrical principles, RN history (official and unofficial), how torpedoes worked, trimming gyros, sound powered telephones, Y-dischargers, depth charges, machine shop practice, fitting skills and other bits and pieces. The best bit of fun was fire fighting and use of breathing apparatus in smoke filled ships. There was one fire alarm on Androm which I had to attend fully kitted. There was a smallfire which I found and extinguished, I never admitted I had started it accidentally.
