The honour could go to either as no month or where they were scapped is given I served abaord Duncan in 1961 which was commanded by Captain Gordon Cunningham Leslie R.N. who was No.1 aboard Petard during the war, he was some character and was a Commodore, in H.M.S. Drake in 1965 and may have made Admiral! Posted by Taff Inch on 04 August 2007 I have recently read a book of Petards' 1st Commssion (now returned to the Library)so I can't recall too many names but try it.Fighting Destroyer - H.M.S. Petard 1st Commission G.G.Connell - Crecy Books 1994 By the way the Barrosa was broken up at Blyth in December 1978 and Matapan arrived at Blyth in August 1979. I was an REM on Dunkirk when you were a bosuns mate along with Danny Bartlett ( a great mate of mine). I think your QM was Donkey Bray? Posted by Robbie Perrin on 09 November 2007 I served on Dunkirk as an REM when you were a bosuns mate along with my pal Danny Bartlett. I think your QM was Donkey Bray. Anyway to clear up your breaking up dates. Barrosa arrived at Blyth and was broken up in December 1978. Mata pan lasted a bit longer arriving on 11th August 1979. Matapan was the longest serving of them all with 34 years! With regard to Petard I just recently read a good account of her 1st Commission - Fighting Destroyer - H.M.S. Petard 1st Commission G.G.Connell - Crecy Books 1994 Did you ever hear anything of Danny, I last saw him in Gib in 1961 when he was on Mamxman Posted by Robbie (Bob) Perrin on 09 November 2007 Thanks for clearing up 'The Last Battle Saga' Robbie.
