This vessel also used Hydrogen Peroxide to boost engine speed, HMS Deepwater on her way from Vernon to the Breakers.
A former war prize from Germany, due to her unusual engineering a German scratch crew under Armed Guard sailed her over here, however the Germans tried to sabotage the Engineroom and all German Crew were interned when they arrived in GB.
The RN did try to run the HP system but decided it was too dangerous and disconnected it.
I have been aboard her when she was alongside HMS Vernon in 1958, interesting Engineroom.
