HMS SURF

[Mark2o]

Greetings,

I am looking for any and all information on the HMS SURF. What little I know is that it was a hired yacht and that it might have had something to do with coastal patrols.

Hope there might be more info and possible photos, etc.

Thanks,

Mark

Don,

Thanks for the added information. The reason that I am inquiring is that I have recently obtained a Royal Naval LSGC to an AB who served on HMS SURF.

Again thanks,

Mark
