I sailed in the first two of those ships FJ. Cyclops was a good solid 'A' boat, constructed for carrying pilgrims.
Menestheus however was one of the six 'M' class. They were built between 1957 and 1960, and were not nearly as handy on deck as the 'A' class. I sailed in all of the 'M' boats, and disliked every one of them.
The best Blueys in my opinion were the 4 'P' boats and the 4 'H' boats, all steam turbine powered ocean greyhounds, lovely ships.
Best regards,
Pat
