Ronald David Williams joined the Navy in 1947, service number NZ11509 During 1947 he served on HMNZS Philomel, Tamaki, and Bellona. During 1949 RD Williams took up training aboard HMNZS Kiwi for his seaman's certificate. He was discharged but then re-engaged.

He subsequently served aboard Philomel and until his discharge from service with the Navy in 1953. Ref. incident during Korean War - there was a scrap at Yang-do, resulting in a near-mutiny on board.
