	HMS Arethusa
		The name "HMS Arethusa", like 99% of the ships of the world's Navies in WW2, is not a household name like that of the Hood or Bismark.
		However, the events described here meant that to the families of her crew, Arethusa was every bit as important as any Battleship.
		The scale of the Naval War meant that so many actions were simply over shadowed by the "big picture", so much so that I recently read in a book about the Malta Convoys that the Stoneage Convoy "reached Malta without incident".
