Trying to find grandfather

[Ejc37]

Hi. I’m trying to do some research in to my grandfather’s war history. All my father can recall is that his father was on motor torpedo boats. Possibly out of Felixstowe or harwich. His name was Percy Amos Watts. Lived in Felixstowe. Now deceased.
Any help would be great fully received.
Thanks Emma
