HMS ST Kitts in the 1950's in 2002
Written by peter Thrower
the 5th flotilla, 7 ships doing an A sweep,7 wire cables from stern to stern to cut up some mines, anyway all of a sudden the next ship headed straight for us hit us amid ships, our skipper shouted over the loud hailer to the offending ship , If you touch me there again I shall scream. Anyway the hole it made was above the water line, we all thought we were going back to harbour for repairs, and a run ashore, O'h no covered it with canvas painted it grey & carried on with the exercise.
