OPERATION ESTHER The Princess And Her Court For a period of over ten years, Esther Williams, Glamorous motion picture and swimming star, has indirectly been responsible for turning officers land gentlemeni of various Navies of the World into thieves and inciting them onto Piratical Pursuits. Although not personally responsible for the scandalous behavior of the officers, 'ESTHER , in the form of an 8 x l0 portrait photo was originally brought aboard the Australian Destroyer NEPAL, in April l942. Her mission was to improve the morale of the ship, after it left its homeland to do battle with the enemy in the early days of World War ll. More recently this trophy has been the cause of much good natured fun among Naval Officers of many ships and several Nations. Fortunately the rules of this contest bar the use of lethal weapons. I During their tour of For East duty in l95l, the men of the ROYAL wardroom were honored with a brief visit from Lady Esther. Not to be outdone by their predecessors, our crafty Executive Officer had little trouble in stealing the princess of the sea away from the officers of the ROAN, into whose hands the lovely damsel had fallen.
