Landing Ship 77. - 3 photo's.
Photo 1, above left, courtesy of Mr. Mark Teadham and centre photo 2 above courtesy of Mr. Robert Rutter.
Thanks
also to Mr. Robert Rutter whose Grandfather was CO. of this ship under the
"Lend-Lease" programme.
Perhaps the caption on photo 2 could be completed to
read ...... "Now we'll see how
things should be done !!"......
It
turns out that "Things certainly were done" as we "Limeys" managed to sink her
by opening her bow doors whilst under weigh.
The old RN maxim still holds true
then, and it states that "if you are going to have a Cock-up, at least have a proper one " !!.
