Three Quarter page piece in this mornings Journal and they got nearly all the information right.

"At 152m long by 21.2m wide and weighing around 8,000 tonnes"
Actual Displacement is 5,893 Standard. 7,570 Full load.

The bit that worried me was from the Captain who said "I am immensely proud to bring HMS Duncan to Newcastle"
and he's a local lad from Whitley Bay...........

Is that one of the golf balls that used to sit on Fylingdales Moor? :)
Always wondered where they had gone.
