	HMS Mermaid a unique insight
		Mermaid was a brand-new sloop of the modified Black Swan class, a type of vessel that was slower than a destroyer but similarly armed.
		Mermaid had expended almost all of her 110 depth charges, and it is probable the other three escorts had used a similar number during the twelve-hour attack.
		Mermaid spent the time in dry dock while various things were done to her asdic dome, the vital piece of underwater equipment that detected the presence of U-boats.

		Their version of The Little Mermaid had Pam Dawber (of Mork and Mindy) in the title role, Treat Williams as The Prince, and Helen Mirren as the Other Princess.
		It wasn't as carefree as most of the show's other renditions, which I suppose is because of the melancholy nature of the tale, which they attempted to keep true to the book.
		Pearl is to kill the prince, and when his blood sprinkles upon her legs, she will turn back into a mermaid.

	Linne Island at the Whitsundays (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Linné Island was named in July 1820 by Lieutenant P. King, RN, in HMS Mermaid after the Swedish naturalist Carl von Linné (1707Ð 1778).
		Probably out of deference to the botanist Allan Cunningham who travelled with King in Mermaid, King named a number of features after well-known figures of the times in botany and the natural sciences (see Dryander, Shaw, Sir James Smith).
		As was common in the early surveys King was more interested in naming prominent reference points than in naming individual islands and he named Linné Peak but not the island.

		Jointly developed by Alstom and Rolls-Royce, the popular Mermaid pod unit is a hydrodynamically optimised body, housing an electric motor, providing 360° azimuthing propulsion.
		HMS Courageous and HMS Glorious have been strongly rumoured, HMS Furious also seems to be a favourite choice, while HMS Eagle, HMS Hermes and HMS Ark Royal are just some of the names that have been mentioned.
		Personally, I think HMS Queen Elizabeth would also be appropriate for one unit given that the planned entry in to service of the first ship and probable launch of the second ship will coincide with Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee in 2012.

	Fittleton T
		It was an unusual feature of the MERMAID in that she had an exceptionally short fo'c'sle deck of only 68 ft, compared to other frigates of similar displacement.
		As FITTLETON closed in on MERMAID from abeam, increasing water pressure between the hulls caused the smaller ship to drop about 40 ft astern into a position which, although was stable and close enough to the MERMAID, made it impossible to conduct the transfer at the RAS (Replenishment At Sea) position.
		In spite of prompt action by the MERMAID, in putting her controllable pitch propellers astern, the bow of the frigate struck the FITTLETON's starboard side in the region of the minesweeping Store and, whilst pushing her sideways, so that there was a reaction on the keel, rolled her completely over through 180 degrees.
