Man this subject kinda just goes on forever.
the fusion of BS and Flower Class
the Rivers
the modified Rivers
the Tacoma's
the colony class
the subsequent Lochs
the further subsequent bays
also the australian bay conversions
and all there postwar histories
in Total
272 ships and something like 32 countries
over 40 + years two major conflicts
several minor ones
britains first nuclear test
the first use of Deployment and use of HH
Present at the debut of the worlds first smart weapons
both guided torpedos and guided bombs as a target.
and so on and so on and so on all the way through to
Christina O which still is one of the ten greatest luxury
yachts in service over sixty years after her keel laying.
any one wanna go in on the purchase and refit of Windrush/Decouverte
tough to rebuild maybe but the ships tend to be reliable and very good
seaboats.
