I was on the Ashanti when she was rendered 'knackered'. (Transferred into reserve fleet). Prop shaft tore one of the shaft bearing out after a AMP in Gib. Put down to poor maintenance of the bearing. As the ship was single shaft and was pretty long in the tooth then, (Late 70's). It was decided to end her operational life. Was my first ship as a baby aircrewman. We transferred onto the Tartar in Portsmouth, usual routine, 48 hours to transfer then a short BOST at Portland before deploying!!!
All part of the fun!! :thumb2: :smiling5:

Nostalgia on two fronts, one being I was in the proper Navy (not a WAFU :smiling2 and the first model I built back in the 70's was HMS Hood.

Old enough to have been a Ganges boy?
