However, it was commandeered by the Navy as a hospital ship for troops injured in action in the Falkland War. All I got was a Falkland Islands t shirt with a picture of a penguin on it! |

Sun 15 Mar 2020, 19:39 I agree Jean. Coincidentally, the first time I saw it was the day before I went on my first ever trip abroad, which was aboard the S.S. Uganda wym-1584301188466, on an educational cruise! Dundee to the Baltic. 1973. There were hundreds of schoolkids from across the County of Angus. It was a big ship compared with H.M.S. Compass Rose - a sister of which I visited, H.M.C.S. Sackville wym-1584301111124 in Halifax, N.S. in 2017. |
