National Service (research)
Could a person doing National Service have served on a ship? (UK late 50s or early 60s)

I want my retired character to have discovered he was seasick before meeting his wife - during National Service seemed like a good option.
Didn't know about them flying either. National Service stopped before I was born. Neither my Dad nor Grandad did it so it's not something I know much about.

As long as it's possible and believable that he could have gone to see that'll work.
When we first got married we lived in Fareham (West Street). We went back for to have a look at the old place about five years ago, there was a roundabout where our little bungalow used to be.
