Vita

[M29]

Anyone got pictures or stories of this ship. She became a Royal Navy Hospital ship during WWII. My father sailed on her for a couple of years as a sick bay articifer. He was in her when she was involved in the Sicilly and Italian landings. I believe she had a sister ship and that they were popular ships in the 20's/30's.

I have just been doing some research for the daughter of one of the engineers who was on Vita 1941/42. She had an interesting war, being bombed at Tobruk and being on the scene when HMS Hermes was attacked by Japanese fighters. Her father was AR Brown
