I would say about 74 or 75, Deirdre(foreground) has the original FP20 Pennant number. The minesweepers in the background could be either of the 3 but it is later in their careers as they appear to have enclosed wheelhouses,which were added later in their service.(Brr)

I reckon its Grainne ....Fola ......and Deirdre. It looks like pne of the ariel shots taken around the Claudia incident which was 1973 ( Goldie look up me books to confirm this).
okay after blowing up the image ...the first sweeper is definetly CM10and I still reckon the second one is CM12...as CM 11 (Banba) was always broken down!

No, Yooklid, it does not , as far as I can remember.
When I read 'The cruel Sea' first I was about 10-11 years old and found Monserrat's attuide quite upsetting, but when you realise what conditions that he was working under, you begin to understand why he felt the way he did.
Thats my 2 cents worth, anyway."We will hold out until our last bullet is spent. Could do with some whiskey"

Probably the last surviving Flower Class Corvette was restored a number of years ago in Canada,with the help of the Irish Naval service,who donated the Pom-pom.
