Berwick only paid off for disposal early 1948, being sold to H B that 15th June.
She had a very active war seeing a good deal of action being awarded 4 battle honours.
Both images in the previous posts show her looking remarkably intact, if somewhat forlorn.
All superstructure, funnels, masts, cranes are intact, as are the sites for her secondary and tertiary weapons. That constitutes her 8 - 4" twin mounts, 40mm, 20mm guns and torpedo tubes all which have been removed, together with most of her radar and radio fit.
However all her twin 8" Mk VIII 50 calibre guns on their Mk 1 mounts are intact in A, B, X and Y positions.
Who can name all 5 ( yes, there are five ) tugs though. Not me for certain.
Thats all folks. Sean.
