There appears to be little response so far.
I have come across what appears to be work on her thesis by a student at Southampton University that may be helpful. You can download it.

Thankyou Gents for your contributions.
I have now acquired another source of Naval History.
He was a remarkable person.

Just picked up today:
Professor Eric Grove died 15 April 2021.
He was an acknowledged expert of Naval History, with many Television appearances.
He had connections with the RN college at Dartmouth, US Naval Academy Annapolis, University of Wollongong, Australia.
He will be missed.
