Pompey memories

摘要

The focus on Portsmouth harbour (SM, April) was excellent. I spent five years from 1968 to 1973 observing the shipping scene at Portsmouth, when it was essentially a naval port with a little commercial shipping activity. Warship classes that frequented the base during that period were the Blackwood, Rothesay, Whitby, Salisbury, Leander and Leopard class frigates, the County Class destroyers,the occasional post-war aircraft carrier, and the carriers Albion and Bulwark.
