[edit] Comment from Help Desk

(copied from the Help Desk) —This ship was not nicknamed the " Rusty B " in the late 1970's. It already had this name in the early to mid '60s. This was not due to this reason either, as it was given it's name by the embarked forces during this time. The Royal Marines Commandos. We had to work at ' Chippin & paintin ' most of the time on board to remove the rust. Also The A.&.S.H. were not the embarked forces to cover the withdrawl from Aden, it was 3rd.Cdo.Bdg.RM. In 1967 40.Cdo.RM. Left Singapore for the Yemen area. This was rotated with 42.Cdo.RM. & HMS Albion her sister ship. This is correct as far as I can remember, as I was a member of 'Charlie' Coy. 40.Cdo. RM. at the time. Each Cdo. did two tours of duty to effect this during 1967 - 1968, as 45 Cdo. was in Aden at the time.
