Royal Navy identification
Hello,
I'm looking for a picture of the yacht AKEELA III. This boat was part of a LSI convoy which sailed to Gold Beach sector on D-Day 6 June 1944. Any information about its mission in the convoy would be helpful. I'm also looking for identification of the abbreviation "RRB" which is used to name 3 boats (RRB1-RRB2-RRB3). They are included in the LSI convoys. Any help about their missions in the convoys would be helpful as well. Regards. J-F

Other than something along the lines of Registered Rescue Boat or Registered Race Boat, which I have never heard of in context.
