Hansard is slightly more in favour of Naval, but there is still ambiguity here.

There is a slight weighting in favour of Naval here, but I'm not going to take this as the proof one way or the other. Can anyone clear this up definitely? Emoscopes ^Talk 14:48, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I'd go with Naval - After all, my father used to be in it and he uses Naval when referring to it. hangar96^Talk 18:48, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

The organisation manuals (Books of Reference in navy speak) are all titled "Royal Naval Auxiliary Service". Gashsack^Talk 18:07 28 September 2007 (UTC)
