Family records connect sailors to HMS Nubian

Two family histories connect HMS Nubian's operational record with sailors who served aboard the Tribal-class destroyer.

Notes

Two comments place individual sailors inside HMS Nubian's history. One viewer's great-grandfather enlisted in 1918 and was 38 when he joined Nubian. He served from the ship's commissioning until her stern was blown off at Crete. Another family was investigating an uncle's naval career aboard the Tribal-class destroyer. The exchange shows how service records and family research can connect a warship's battle record with the people who served in it.
