Cracking picture Teaboy! Fond memories of visiting her when I was a kid at Portland. Good ships? or fragile and under armed?? Either way, one of the best "looking" classes.
******,sadly,probably fragile and under armed which was a common fault from the Leanders onwards.Scantlings on the light side.
Racy looking ships especially at speed squatting down by the stern.Really good acceleration from a standing start.
She was the first RN ship I set foot on with a visit we had while at Raleigh training. Not too long after that I was to watch her go, lost a mate on her WEM(R) Simon Lawson.
