The anti-submarine escort trawler H.M.S.Turquoise, has just completed a four year service on the East Coast, during which time she has steamed 72,000 miles in escorting 215 convoys, compromising 6,400 ships of a total tonnage of 16,000,000 tons. The Turquoise is adopted by Gwmbren U.D.Wales. She claims to have sunk on E-Boat for certain and probably two; helped to salvage three naval and eight Merchant ships; brought 150 survivors to safety. She played her part with the "Little Ships" of Dunkirk. Most of her crew are peaetine fishermen. She was built in 1935 for fishing in the White Sea, taken over by Admiralty the same year and converted for her present job during the Abbysinian war.
