Who was responsible for HMT and OHMS ships during WWII?

May 2, 2013

Hi there,

I have been trying with outy much luck to find out who was responsible for HMT and OHMS ships during WWII.

I would guess that HMT belonged to the DfT and OHMS were MoD.

I would be most greatful for any pointers on answering this.

I look forward to your reply

regards
