Dictionary Of Naval Slang

For centuries the sailors of the Royal Navy have been famous for their colourful language and idiosyncratic turn of phrase. Though the Royal Navy’s heyday is long past, veteran sailor Gerald O’Driscoll preserved its unique language in this sometimes hilarious but always fascinating compendium. First published in 1943, this modern gift edition comes with a foreword by author and former Royal Navy submariner Richard Humphreys.
