| cc. Vc. and Lv. file RM.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/ML. 16.9.40. Commander Young R.N. H.M.S.Excellent, PORTSMOUTH. Dear Young, I received the following letter from the D.N.C. this morning. As a result of this I rang up Captain Green, who confirmed that he wanted the first gun despatching with the pedestal type mounting. I am sending you a copy of a letter I have written to him, clarifying the situation. It will be a relief when we get the shield and mounting settled. Owing to the altered programme, I do not think you ought to expect the gun at Hythe before the end of the week. Yours sincerely, G 1197/40 | ||
