Able Sea. Thomas Doak
Royal Navy HMS Domett
from:17 Field Road, Glasgow
My father, Tommy Doak, was based at HMS Saker (Asbury Park) during August and September 1943. He was stationed there in order to prepare and launch HMS Domett, one of the Captain-Class Frigates provided by the USA on a Lease-Lend basis. He advised on the fitting (gunnery aspects) and joined the ship on its launch, taking it down to Bermuda for its sea trials.
