Looking
much better these days is HMS Nottingham. The British ship is
back at sea after repairs costing more than 50 million pounds.
Compare this image with the picture we used on the front page
of Navy News on July 22, 2002.
It showed Nottingham down in the bow and salvage crews scrambling
onboard after she struck Wolfe Rock off Lord Howe Island.
Andrew Meares from the Sydney Morning Herald took the dramatic
picture.
Divers
from AUSCDTONE did yeoman service preparing the warship for towing
to Newcastle and then on to Sydney.
The “sink and lift” ship Swan then took her to Britain for repairs.
