Pinned post for Q&A :)
"you expected this to be another Atlanta but its me,Dido!"
My dad was on HMS Naiad when she was sunk. He was also on HMS Barham when it blew up. Very lucky or unlucky, depending on how you look at it.
Thank you very much for this latest excellent video. I mentioned in a previous comment that my father served on Dido (tangentially he always referred to the ship as Dido, with an 'i' rather than 'Deedo'). From memory this was his first posting after completing training as an ERA at HMS Caledonia. Children never listen to stories and parents do not talk. As a result, my knowledge of my father's service is limited to half remembered anecdotes coupled with the excellent publication about the ship produced by the Dido Association. Nevertheless, I know that my father was part of the ship's company when she was on Malta Convoy duties, the evacuation of Crete - when she sustained considerable damage - , in the Italian campaign at the time of the Anzio and Salerno actions, convoys to Murmansk and so on. Following the damage sustained at Crete, she was sent, after temporary repair to New York. My father did not go to the USA and seems to have spent this time in South Africa. I have a photograph of him and some colleagues at that time. recently I scanned and enlarged it. I recognised my father (ages c 21), but he is gaunt and drawn. I do not know, but perhaps, after the horrific experience of the Crete evacuation, perhaps a group had been left in Johannesburg for some kind of PTSD recovery. Without looking up his record, my father left 'Dido' late 1944 (ish), being posted to HMS Seagull. Early in this posting the ship was involved in taking relief supplies and minesweeping duties on the River Scheldt to new liberated Rotterdam. Another story for another time. Thank you again for filling in a large number of blanks.
Atlanta, but fueled by tea.
do NOT look up HMS Dido model on Amazon
My dad jokingly called these 'the best destroyers ever'. Why are these not in World Of Warships?
I did some research on a Dido Class which figured into my book BETWEEN THE HUNTERS AND THE HUNTED. She ends up, like any good warship, in a desperate fight with a German battleship. How she found herself in that situation and the obvious outcome was actually fun to write.
came from azur lane.... Historical Warships are Interesting....
Look at my shipfu she is beautiful
This is now a good time to read Alastair McLean's HMS Ulysses, set about a fictional modified Dido on a Murmansk trip.
Always been my favorite class. Mostly because of the novel HMS Ulysses by Alistair MacLean.
The titular ship of Alistair MacLean's novel "HMS Ulysses" was a Dido class. It's a pretty good book.
I did one commission on HMNZS Royalist
This ship class is one of those i would love to see in WOWS at T6 or something it could be very fun to play with.
My grandfather served as a stoker on the Dido class cruiser HMS Cleopatra in the Mediterranean theatre. I never met him but I read his war diary. Shame theres not more of it. He witnessed HMS Naiad torpedoed and was on board for both Battles Of Sirte. Cleopatra was fired upon by the RM battleship Littorio but luckily the salvoes were a near miss.
"I will go down with this ship
My grandfather served on board HMS Diodem.
My grandfather served of the Bellona variant, HMS Black Prince and it wasn't till he passed how the ship went duering the war. This included the D-day landings through to operations in the pacific a well traveled ship and Grandfather.
I wanted to make a ship review of this in War Thunder. Gaijin has jet to fix the hoorendous dispersion that make BBs in WoWs look accurate
