The Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes (NAAFI) were created in 1921 to run recreational establishments needed by the British Armed Forces, and to sell goods to servicemen. It also ran clubs, bars, shops, mobile vans, restaurants and cafés for the troops. HMS 'Tyne' (1940) was a Helca-class depot-ship that served during the Second World War and Korean War. She was scrapped in 1972.
