Built by Swan's in 1951.

The frigate on the right is F 51, HMS GRAFTON, but no ideas on the name of the one next to SPORTSMAN !

Hm well I'm not 100% sure but I think the other vessel is ALERT (ex Dundrum Bay ex Loch Scamadale.)

Built by Blyth Dry Docks and Shipbuilding.
Launched 10th July 1945.
Became ALERT February 1946.
Sold to Wards on the 13th October 1971.

She was one of two vessels classed as 'Despatch Vessesls'.
Paul Hood. + WSS Tyneside Branch Hon Sec.
