In July 1957, I was joining my first deep sea vessel the RFA Wave Knight, she was lying at the North Wall in Rosyth dockyard, as I neared the ship, I noticed about a dozen men, consisting of cadets and seamen, searching the quay, looking under every piece of kit shouting Joe Joe!! I went on board signed on as a cabin boy, once that was done I asked the Chief Steward, who the guys ashore were looking for, to be told the Joe was the ships cat, who seemingly had more rights than me, he was a big grey Tom, but liked him.
