HMS Ark Royal

The Last Commission:

1976 to 1978

 

    

Roosevelt Roads

17-20 April 1978

 

As usual there were the usual formal activities whenever HMS ARK ROYAL visits a foreign port. For most there was time for rest and relaxation in forms which catered for individual wishes. All the Naval Base facilities were available to us and the majority of the ship’s company took advantage of these without ever leaving the base. For those who ventured a little further, San Juan and the El Yungue Rain Forest proved to be very popular and interesting. All too soon our visit was over. During the forenoon of Thursday 20th April we bade farewell to Roosevelt Roads, and off we went to start our work up in Puerto Rican waters
