She was also involved in numerous other actions resulting in German shipping losses such as the Battle of North Cape in December 1943.Here is a nifty little detail; besides a short period in reserve, she served until 1963, including service in the Korean war. Not bad for a ship quickly built in the early years of a world war.If you find yourself in Hamilton, you can pay her a visit. Just look at her!Fullbore my teethy Canadian friend; fullbore. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/FAFV?d=yIl2AUoC8zA http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/FAFV?d=qj6IDK7rITs http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/FAFV?i=MGWyFSuAXlk:lOTldXmJSIM:gIN9vFwOqvQ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/FAFV?i=MGWyFSuAXlk:lOTldXmJSIM:-BTjWOF_DHI http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/FAFV?i=MGWyFSuAXlk:lOTldXmJSIM:V_sGLiPBpWU http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/FAFV?i=MGWyFSuAXlk:lOTldXmJSIM:F7zBnMyn0Lo http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/FAFV/~4/MGWyFSuAXlkView the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
