       For my father, who loved life

      V.J.C.H.

       1928–2016

      ‘Submariners themselves were regarded as not quite the thing – smelt a bit, behaved not too well, drank too much. They were regarded as a sort of dirty habit in tins.’

      Admiral Sir John Forster ‘Sandy’ Woodward, One Hundred Days, 1992
