	>HMS Devonshire (London Class Cruisers)
		Once Devonshire was within sight of the merchant ship, to frustrate any submarine attack, she manoeuvred to keep a distance of between 12,000 and 18,000 yards away, maintaining a speed of 26 knots with frequent alterations of course.
		By May 1942 Devonshire was in the Indian Ocean as part of ‘Operation Ironclad', the invasion of strategic ports in Vichy-held Madagascar, and in the follow-up to this operation she escorted troop convoys, including the giant Cunarder Queen Mary, between Suez and Simonstown.
		Devonshire's first training cruise began in autumn 1947, when she visited the Irish port of Berehaven (Castletown Bere), in the beautiful setting of Bantry Bay on Ireland's south coast, the visit being hosted by the Irish Naval Service.

		HMS Fife was shipshape and Bristol fashion that day and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, especially as I'm ex-US Navy and a destroyerman for life.
		Served on HMS Fife (D20) March 1982-85, I remember being crash drafted to the Fife (Banana Boat) from a cushy job at PCG in HMS Vernon at the start of the Falklands only to find she was still in refit.
		There was a good documentry series here on HMS Brilliant and a run she made through the Med probably back in the late 80's early 90's It is sad to realise the old ships are either scrap or sold to third world navies especially the leanders and the County Class.
