Personally no, but I do come from a naval family. My father was a commander in the navy. His specialty was WEO (Weapons Engineering Officer) when aboard ship, however, later in his career he was in charge of all refits conducted at Devonport dockyards in Plymouth.
As an added bonus I was always allowed to 'tour' the ships when they were in dock. Because I was a 'regular' his senior staff and I got very friendly and I recall them and I skateboarding along the flight deck of HMS Invincible. Of course my father wasn't onboard at the time.
This was about 15 years ago. Doesn't time fly.
