Naylor joined the Marines in 1927 and saw extensive shipboard service. In mid-1939, now a sergeant he joined Resolution which did Atlantic convoy work before taking part in the Norwegian Campaign, where he saw land as well as sea action. Resolution moved south and saw action with Force H and at Mers-el-Kebir and Dakar where she was torpedoed. She went to Philadelphia for repair and he returned to the UK on Totland. He next joined Cornwall at Capetown. Her sinking is graphically described. After some leave he served briefly on Valiant, but returned to the UK to join the new Swiftsure in which he saw service in the Mediterranean and Pacific. An engaging if brief biography.
