They were all beyond reproach as far as I was concerned. Mouth watering meals prepared to order by skilful and dedicated cooks, and served at any time one required - but then I was always Wardroom victualled, and, being officers' cooks, we tended to look after our own scran.
On a more serious note, Hornet in the early 50's left a great deal to be desired. The accommodation was thin walled sectional concrete huts that had been thrown up during the war, filled to overflowing with past their best bunk beds in serried rows with just about enough space between each pair to fit two lockers, one above t'other. One small smokey coal fired stove in the middle of the mess sufficed for central heating, and the communal showers were a 50 yard dash along the perpetually gale ridden foreshore. Turning out for morning watch in Winter was pure joy.
As previously mentioned, Terror and Mercury were among the best, but RAF Halton (quite apart from the fact that it was the RAF nurses' training establishment) took some beating for all round home comforts!
