A friend of my brother served with Andy on a couple of ships - he was not popular with the seamen in his division or with his fellow officers. Nor was he considered the sharpest tool in the box.

In the navy it is traditional for a officer to supply his division with a few cans to celebrate the birth of his new sprog - Andy didn't, He also allegedly gave a Leading Seaman a "push" when he congratulated HRH on the new addition to the Kraut/Greek faction, which was covered up, the leading hand "suddenly" found himself transferred a long way away.

One story I heard was that after arriving aboard Invincible he was invited to play Billiards in the Billiard room. They ran him all over the ship until someone pointed out the pointlessness of having a table on a ship.
