Well researched and a fascinating read - an excellent and informative account of an enigmatic and beautiful ship.
My father worked on her machinery installation during her building at Swan Hunters as an apprentice Fitter in the late 30's, and again (now as a qualified Engineer) for her refit in '47, the men who built her were extremely proud of her.
