Regulations Respecting the Blue Ensign of H.M. Fleet (Naval Reserve Flag)—Queens Regulations and Admiralty Instruction Article 126

With reference to clause 1 (c) of the above regulations, as
published in Gazette, No. 65, dated 9 October 1952, the fol-
lowing amendments have been approved:

(a) In addition to the Commanding Officer, the number of
reservists required to form part of the crew in order
to qualify the ship is normally to be four.

(b) If, however, certain of the deck, engine-room, and
catering departments of the ship are manned by
ratings ineligible on the grounds of nationality or
citizenship to join the naval reserves, the qualifying
number can be as follows:

(i) Three reservists, if two of the three depart-
ments are so manned.

(ii) Two reservists, if all three departments are so
manned.

(If only one of the departments is so manned,
four reservists (as at (a) above).)

The reference to Asian-manned vessels in regulations will,
therefore, be superseded by (b) (i) and (ii) above. The
provision for Commodores will remain unaltered.

By direction of the Naval Board—

D. A. WRAIGHT, Navy Secretary.
