Shortly after this HMS Chichester returned to UK (taken of HK SQN) and we had a major reshuffle with most singlies going back on the Chi and those that were married accompanied stayed on the sweepers, Quite a few of us ended up on the Beachampton which became SOHKS, including AB Lucky Dog. We also ended up with 3 buffers !!!!!
