Passing Suez Ch.

KOMMUNISTICHESKOYE ZNAMYA - IMO 6827888

Beached 06.05.2024 in Alang for breaking.

Now, if a cruise ship could do this - I'd pay just to watch it happening !!!

Yes, Denis. Paul Tunney and I must have been standing close to one another on the dock wall at the time!

She was coming back from the Mediterranean Yacht Show in Nafplio.

Ah ok, I saw that wrong on MarineTraffic then, thanks!

Hello Yvon,
I agree that the width of the hull of the ship in Bizerte does not correspond to the width of the frigate and degree of corrosion is similar to a long period.
In the case of FLEETBANK, it must be taken into account that the engine and boiler compartment was in the aft part.
Kind regards, Vladimir

Nice one,Frits !!

She was never a white elephant in my opinion, though our Navy made a mstake in buying her, we should built more frigates as anti subamraine warfare was for more important.

At the time of her reconstruction she had the best radar fit on any British cruiser as well as having her guns under director control.

The Americans hated her on at least one ocassion shooting down the target drone.

The problem was her refit did not include the machinery and living spaces which led to her demiose in 1965.
