is it?blimey. maybe i'm getting confused. is dumfried by the sea by any chance? (there is a good reason for my asking this, by the way- my dad joined the navy at 16 hoping to see the world and spent the three years stationed in scotland (somewhere beginning with 'd' with a weekend in plymouth and a weekend in sweden to break it up)

not that I know anything, just guessing.but this www.hms-fife.co.uk/ www.hms-fife.co.uk/scotland.htm seems to suggest I may have been right.

Err......Dumfries isn't a big naval town - I don't know exactly how far away it is from the sea though (not too close I think).
Dunfermline isn't on the sea itself, but the naval base of Rosyth is very near it (just accross the Forth from Edinburgh). It could have been there.
Dundee is a city with a port, but I'm not sure about navy. Don't think so.
Probably Rosyth - he would have went to Dunfermline for the nightclubs or something.
BTW - in Football terms Dunfermline are my team's bitterest rivals. Boo!
