H.M.S. Severn in her blue/green camo known as 'Western Approaches' as applied to U-Boat hunters throughout much of the 1940's.
H.M.S. Severn is the first vessel since WW2 to have the paint job, which has little practical use these days, but instead serves as a tribute to sailors of the Battle of the Atlantic who operated in the same waters the warship regularly patrols. The captain was also wearing WW2 uniform when she docked, sadly I couldn't get a photo!The Andrea Doria, a handsome Italian vessel with, I thought, quite unusual double forward turrets and another above the heli hanger. Couldn't get a view of the helicopter tho.
A few pics for the floaty crew and new recruit that I hope you enjoy!
