HMS TROUTBRIDGE

I know nothing more than her name but I am sure someone will have more details of her. Looks nothing more than a barge and the photo would have been taken approx 1969 somewhere on the south coast.

Funny you should say that Ron.........great minds think alike ! I had that feeling it was something to do with the Navy Lark...could'nt think why you would name a barge....at least it's a wreck....I got that bit right.

Maybe used in photo shoots?

Interestingly enough there is a Troubridge in RN records dating back to 1805. The last I can find is the Troubridge Class of Destroyers 1942/43, 1710 tons..Troubridge (leader) 1730 tonnes..similar to the U and V classes of similar date.
What a difference a T makes!!.
