Linden,
Not sure if the service record would give info on hospitalisation, but it would give a good insight into his service in the Navy. I believe its well worth applying for it.
You could start here. IWM Home Page > Your History > How to trace People's History > Royal Navy > Naval Service Records > Royal Navy
Regards
Peter

And all around the sky was clear
Borne on the wind a whisper came
'Though men grow old, they stay the same'
And then I knew, unseen to eye
The ageless Few were sweeping by
