His discharge book number, Would be a start if Merchant Navy it will begin with an R, then any ships and dates he was aboard them, And of course his rating at sea would help Regards Terry.

The Class 3 marine engineer, sounds like the new cert. structure which came out somewhere around the eighties. To my knowledge the only Marine Engineers certs were Class 1 and 2 steam and motor and Extra Class 1. An engineer would be more qualified to tell you about the cert. structure and when 3s and 4s and suchlike came into force. Cheers John S
