I wonder if your husband & mine served on submarines together - my husband would be 75 now😢

Has it?, I wanna see pictures of it.

@@netherbrickgamer I posted some up on my Facebook page recently, but if you google it, they are on there! :-)

Are they going to fill it up again?

@@netherbrickgamer no mate, they are demolishing it!

Aww, it was such a nice looking place, sad to see parts of history gone.

Sorry can only remember the Yarmouth F101 ramming and screwing up their bows

My apologies Yarmouth guys the pic with the bows smashed in looks like my old ship the Falmouth we were up their in winter 76 with the Galatea ,That's FALMOUTH at 2.04 on this vid ,We had a mighty run in with one of their Gunboats rammed the bleeding thing bigtime and had massive bow damage aswell .

@@afcesuh6108 I believe it was Týr that you lot struck. Týr was attempting to cut a trawl wire when the first collision happened (at 20+ knots if I remember rightly), almost capsizing Týr. Týr then managed to cut the wire successfully before being rammed again. At which point both ships were heavily damaged and Captain Guðmundur Kjærnested started heading for home whilst being pursued by the British ship Statesman. You lot then had to go all the way to Portsmouth for repairs as far as I know. No hard feelings btw, we know you were just doing your jobs, same as us.

@@drax5872 cheers mate Topman 👍🏽

@@alanknights3839 Both HMS Jaguar and HMS Falmouth suffered damage to the bow in collision with Icelandic gunboats.

Well, as my grandad used to say when he brought out his old trawl cutter to show us youngsters "The English were only doing their jobs... We just did ours better." (Usually followed by a smug grin and a wink) Sad to hear that Hull still hasn't recovered though, but then again your Government totally sold you out by letting the EU basically r*pe English coastal waters.

Just a bit of info for you and your old shipmate: Our boys weren't really aiming for the ships, they were looking to make sudden sharp turns and slip behind so they could try and make a dash for the trawlers to get back to cutting the trawl wires. Keep the same pace as the Frigates -> Slow down suddenly and make a sharp turn towards the Frigate -> Narrowly miss them and then go full steam ahead to go for the trawlers. That was pretty much the plan (although "accidental" ramming didn't exactly hurt morale)

Was there, good times...

I was on the Bacchante then and believe you had been taken off because you suffered from severe sea sickness ( sorry )correct about the the BBC but have never been able to find any mention about when we rescued the crew of a local fishing boat and took the 3 crew back home. Name was Bogey 3D mess Sonar

@@alanknights3839 The RN being the good guys wouldn't have been 'good' news at the time. If you watch any of the documentaries, they make us look like a load of pirates, picking on the poor Icelanders. We were just trying to do a job, protecting our fishermen - all at the behest of our political masters at the time.....

@@vincedonaldson4079 No grudges here in Iceland, we know you were just doing your jobs, same as our lads were just doing theirs. My grandpa always used to say that he was never angry with any of the British sailors, it was the politicians he was mad at for playing games with peoples livelihoods.

My dad served on Courageous too about the same time - Barry Cole.

@@marko8482 Hi there. I don’t know anyone from the courageous, only have met relatives online. Just to make it clear I only know history about the HMS courageous sunk in 1939. I am the great grandson of Albert who lost his life on the ship

@@AlbertBowdenOfficial oh sorry mate, sorry for your loss aswell..

drian mortiz cant beat Leanders, nothing more to say really!

I served on a mine sweeper, the Beachampton, and type 12 frigate twice FALMOUTH. Loved both ships but my favourites even till this day were the Devonshire class GMDs and the Leander class frigates beautiful looking ships .

Do you remember Tom payne, whacker?
