description: The book is about my experiences in the Royal Navy throughout the seventies. It isn't about war, it is about my escapades, the people I met, the people I annoyed,and the people who annoyed me. It's about my training, my times abroad, my mates, the winding-up,the runs ashore, the interminable exercises,the 'getting-in-to-trouble', the getting out of trouble....It's been described as a 'valuable document of social history', of the Navy during that period, utterly authentic, as a naval version of 'Men Behaving Badly',and the epitome of the lower deck during that period.There ARE no other books available which so exactly encapsulate Jack's life afloat and ashore.'When I Was On The Tartar...' WILL appeal to anyone with an interest in Naval History as well as anyone who has served in the Royal Navy.
