Ron Wright – Joining the Submarine Service

Simon: And when did you think about joining the Submarine Service then?

I didn’t get a choice (laughs).They said, “You’re in it.” I went and finished my initial training in the Navy. We all sat around deciding where we got to go to, you know. A couple of Wrens picking out names out of a hat sort of thing. Some were going to Australia, some on ships, but when my name came out, it was HMS Dolphin (laughs_. I could have walked there.
