Written as seen through the eyes of the ship's schoolmaster, with tales of a visit to Iceland, to ports around the British Isles (indeed, to all four home nations), to Trinidad, Tobago, St Vincent, Antigua and Gibraltar and the naval dockyards at Portsmouth and Plymouth (her home port). Invergordon is often visited and the author affords descriptions of exercises off Cromarty and off Weymouth and elsewhere. He covers in some detail the matter of the Invergordon Mutiny of 1931 and how it affected the ship and ship's officers.
He gives details of the ship's routine for a day but, unfortunately, there is little about mess life, food or the lower deck and life inside the ship. It is written by a ship's officer principally for the ship's officers and anyone else who might be interested.
All in all, the reader will gain a reasonable understanding of the life of a capital ship in the middle of what we now know were the inter-war years. ( )
