This Singapore Dockyard page is in recognition of the many UK Dockyard Officers and Local employees who made it and our ships work so well so far from home. My thanks for all the pictures. Except where noted the pictures are from Alf Lawson (Shipwright/Diver HMD Chatham & Singapore). (In case you wonder Alf and Edward are not related)
