Denis, thank you for your comment, the answer to your query is very simple and I am much proud of it all.
I was of age 9 at the time of visit to the Portsmouth Naval Base.
My father was in the Diplomatic Cord at the Yugoslav embassy in London, as a Naval Attache.
The event at the Portsmouth Naval Base was, the reunion of all foreign Naval Attaches at that time in GB, together with their families, and the event was called fore and organized by the Admiral of the Portsmouth Naval Base.
I still remember very well the impressive foot & boat tour around the Naval Base and the grand lunch ceremony in the pompous hall at the Naval Base.
Kind regards/Jadran

Keith the owner of the negs was friends with photographer and we have been friends for over 30 years, so hopefully we can scan them and finally see most of them, as we only printed a few in 70's.

Jadran, why would Admiral of the Portsmouth Naval Base hand you a book & sign it with his expensive Parker pen or whatever was at that time to some random ~ 7-yearer unless your father (if only he was a close friend with Admiral of the Portsmouth Naval Base) asked him to do so?

Pieter, that very book (a worthy one, although Dumpy) was a present handed to me from the Admiral of the Portsmouth Naval Base in 1959.
The Admiral had written with his pen, on the inner title page of the book his dedication: To Jadran, with best wishes Raymond V.B. Bluckmann.

I believe that your statement is anyhow correct Pieter, although I had read the other names, as they are written, in the book The DUMPY Book of SHIPS & the SEA,1958.

Jadran, it was one sister :Al Malik Saud al Awal, built 1954 (and not anal...). She sank in 1996 after an explosion.

TINA ONASSIS (owned by Aristotel Onassis) had two sisters: AL-MALIK & SAUD AL-ANAL (Saudi Arabia).

Denis, your statement is absolutely correct without any doubt!
From the very early 60-s (when I was 10) Tina for always remained in my mind.
She was not only huge, but was also a top styled tanker.
