The breakdown of apprentices selected for assignment to the Naval Service in 1980 is as follows: Carpenters, 2; Fitters, 3; Radio Mechanics, 5; Electricians, 5.
As apprentices are not selected for assignment to the various Corps until they have successfully completed the third year of their apprenticeships, information in respect of the assignment of apprentices for 1981 and 1982 is not available.
