Sheerness - RNXS Emergency Port Control: The RNXS (Royal Naval Auxiliary Service) was set up in 1962 as a result of the Cold War nuclear threat to Britain, particularly her ports. The role of the auxiliary men was to ensure quick and effective evacuation of major ports and to get any larger and faster ships as far out to sea as possible, and to arrange a safe anchorage for any remaining ships. The RNXS were also vital to the co-ordination of evacuate ships into convoys and to ensure that communication between ships and control bases was maintained.
