HMS Ulster 1958-60 Movements Log
Log information taken from public records in United Kingdom. Researched and supplied by Reg Ralph. Some errors maybe present and there are some missing dates/days. Why this missing information is not part of public records is unknown If any surfer can furnish me with additional information it would be much appreciated. I have changed
abbreviations from original documents to make it easier for the reader.John Rowe points out that there is no details of our Fishery Protection patrol off the coast of Iceland, once again no records in archives. I will insert John's suggestions and that may jog someones grey cells.
