OLEANDER was renamed OLMEDA in 1967 as the sound of the name was too close to LEANDER and could cause confusion (I believe).
Here is OLMEDA - A124 off the coast of Anglesey in a Force 8 gale, attending the 50th Anniversary celebration for the Battle of the Atlantic at Liverpool in May 1993.

OLMEDA photographed at Portsmouth. I think this was just before she was broken up.
