There you are, you see - Re Tashengurt's post No 13 -
Newspapers do get things wrong and situations such as this seems to have been with various actors from different nations are ripe for disinformation and misunderstanding.
You'll have trouble finding HMS Bracken anywhere, any time (nb not "
The HMS") Closest is "Empire Bracken" last heard of in HM service in 1946.
Brecon maybe – a Hunt Class MCM ship, Pennant No. M29 , now a training hulk at Raleigh -
or perhaps
Brazen, a Type 22 Frigate, Pennant No. F91, now doing time with the Brazilian Navy.
Both are in the time frame. Take your choice. LFH
