HMS ARROW F173

Is this ship covered elsewhere on the Forum?

I have started a new thread for the Type 21 Amazon Class. http://lewin-of-greenwich-naval-history ... =71&t=2307
Incidently, HMS Arrow was adopted by the City of Sunderland. Unfortunately, I never managed to get a photo of her on a visit here.

Thanks Jim and good luck with your Ruski jab.

Can anyone identify the ship astern of the Victorious, as she departs Sydney September 1945, part of the pennant number is 45.
I assume it is an Australian ship but could be any nationality.

My guess would be HMS Tenacious which had the pennant R45.
The only thing that would complicate it is if the photo was taken at the time of the British Pacific Fleet, when D45 was her sister ship - HMS Teazer. However, I think Tenacious is favourite.

Many thanks Jim, I agree Tenacious seems to be the best bet. Taken in September 1945, heading home after the War in the Pacific ended

H.M.S. NIMRO.

Hello All, I've been asked for assistance to identify this ship - if she exsisted? - but all search results end up with Nimrod.
My only thoughts are the possibility of a 'prop' for either a stage play, film or the Tally manufacturer produced faulty ones which somehow escaped and were kept and/or sold off later.
Any thoughts, suggestions or info would be appreciated.
Will get back to you if I receive anything useful.

There was a shore base HMS Nimrod at Campbeltown during the war, but not sure if they would have worn only a tally with HMS on or one with HMS Nimrod on.

Tks Jim, as far as I know only HMS was worn during WW II and black caps ended in '56.
Also a ship of that name with 6 funnels but WW I.
