Arethusa information sought

ISLANDERS REUNITED From Roland Tom Sawyer, secretary and founder, HMS Arethusa Association, 6 Sycamore Close, Slingsby, YORK YO62 4BG. Telephone: 01653 628171

IN 2015, we hope to arrange a reunion of HMS Arethusa Association on the IW.

This will be to commemorate 50 years since the launch and commissioning of the Leander class frigate HMS Arethusa in November 1965. This was the last warship to be built in the yard of J. S. White & Sons.

I will be putting together a small magazine containing the history from launch to the sinking (as a target) in 1991.

To achieve this I need plenty of photographs, stories and articles, some facts about her deployments and the history of J. S. White & Sons and the building of this ship.
