	Royal Navy reserves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As the Royal Navy came to its more modern organisation during the 17th Century it adopted the practice of impressment to provide the bulk of the crews.
		Another large group who joined the RNR were those who had undertook Merchant Navy apprenticeships and had the option of being RNR officers as well.
		This was the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (RNVR), known as the 'Wavy Navy' on account of the rank stripes (rings) on officers sleeves being wiggly rather than straight.

	Mobilisation of the Royal Navy
		Fresh appropriations of the first arrivals of reserves in depôt had to be made, as it was known that many reserve men were already in "Manoeuvre ships," whom it was not desirable to change.

		The question of a permanent reserve of this women's force was raised during demobilisation, but it was decided that such a reserve was not necessary and would not justify its cost in peace.

	Captain Johnny Walker Royal Navy - Scourge of the U Boats

		As the threat of invasion manifested itself in German occupied harbours, the defence of the convoys was sacrificed to defend England but as the threat disappeared the convoys' protection was returned although the level of sinkings had risen to horrifying levels.
