When the chief inspector visited the two Channel Island stations in June 1945 he found that the Guernsey boat, which had been armed by the Germans with two guns and used as a fishery patrol boat, had been so mishandled that she was unfit for life-boat work. The Jersey boat was in better case. She too had been used by the Germans, but she had also gone out five times as a life-boat, with her crew under German guzrds, - and had rescued 35 lives. After overhaul and repair she will return to the Institution's fleet..
