I've been trawling the BBC's creative archive site and came across this gem of a clip.
It shows HMS Carisbrooke Castle (K379) a Castle class corvette entering Plymouth and tying up alongside in Devonport dockyard. A couple of matelots go ashore and one of them takes a bus ride into Plymouth via Union Street. As far as I can make out the year is 1954 when Carisbrooke was part of the 2nd Training Squadron, based in Portland.
Evocative stuff, if just a little before my time!
