HMS Uva
HMS Uva was a Royal Navy rest camp at Diyatalawa, in British Ceylon.
The camp was reportedly built as a prisoner of war camp for use in the Boer War in 1900, and was used as a Royal Naval Auxiliary Hospital in the Second World War.[1] The rest camp was commissioned as an independent command under the name Uva on 1 December 1945.[1]
The camp's accounts were transferred to HMS Lanka in 1957, and the camp was transferred to the Air Ministry on 30 September 1958.[1]

gollark: Er, what?
