John F. Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Hello, I have a 1962 GSM with a South Arabia Class named to a person in the Royal Navy that has the abbreviation "A/ R.S.", but I can't seem to find the meaning. One source I found (The Long, Long Trail website) stated that "ARS" stands for; "Advanced Regulating Station", but I can't find anything that applies that abbreviation to the Royal Navy. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John F. Posted April 20, 2023 Author Share Posted April 20, 2023 I think I found a possibility. ARS is a hull classification for a rescue and salvage ships in the British Navy. Can anyone confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John F. Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 I think you are spot-on. My cousin in the Canadian Royal Navy also confirmed. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
