You're Top Poster: #2 | Nuts. Check out HMS Kimberley's career anyway - right through the war and busy too of course - HMS Kimberley (F50 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) HMCS Assiniboine? Damage "appears" to fit with depth charges set too shallow.

You're Top Poster: #2 | Crap and crap. Hmm, HMCS Chebogue? I don't know why I bother as if I happen to get it right, I then have to come up with a question!

You're Top Poster: #1  | Finally - yep tis HMCS Chebogue. Shown after being safely delivered to port in Port Talbot, Wales. After being hit by an acoustic torpedo off Ireland, she was towed 890 miles by five different ships. She never returned to service. uboat.net - Allied Ships hit by U-boats - HMCS Chebogue (K 317) (Frigate) Juno Beach Centre - Frigates

You're Top Poster: #2 | I was tapped out after Kimberley but I thought she was a bit on the big size compared to the pic. Good old Google. Certainly a tribute to the little ships. A great pity they are under-represented by survivors.
