	Ship “Index”
		She was built as a forerunner for a whole class of new "Destroyers" to act as "Escorts" and "Air Defence" ships for a new class of "Aircraft Carrier" that were never to see the light of day due to the "Defence cuts" of the mid 1960's.
		"HMS Bristol" lingered on for several years, and many of her old company hold fond memories of her.
		Sadly she has now gone, as also has most of the RN and its "force projection capabilities", once the envy of the world, and this country is now left with but a shadow of its former Navy.

		She turned away from the wind and at the same moment also, the main fleet, namely the aircraft carriers and the Rodney and Nelson turned around, for we had reached the Straits of Pantaleria, and from here the convoy carried on to Malta with just the cruisers and destroyers as escort.
		After we had exchanged signals, we prepared to tow her, for she had no way on and seemed to be settling on the starboard quarter.
		Later we decided that the Bramham should go alongside the tanker on her starboard side and that we should tow her between us.

		So I was sent back into general service at Portsmouth from where I was soon drafted to a Hunt Class Destroyer HMS Bramham being refitted at docks near Newcastle.
		The Bramham was quite a famous ship; she had taken part in the Malta Convoy ‘Operation Pedestal’ and had assisted the oil tanker Ohio into harbour at Malta, thus saving the precious cargo greatly needed for the defence of Malta.
		On reaching the ship I was surprised to see the Greek Ensign flying and found that she had been handed over to the Greek Navy with Greek Officers and crew, and had been renamed H.H.M.S Themistocles.
