Barnacles

Royal Navy did not have the information requested.

Dear Royal Navy,

I will be obliged to know what measures The Royal Navy takes to prevent or rectify barnacles on the exterior of the hulls of its vessels. It is know that in the past these were detremental in the speed and efficiency of Her Majesty's ships.

What materials and methods are currently used. If a short, simple and easy history of the subject since 1945, is available script, access or reference will oblige.

Yours faithfully,

E.J.Boyle
