Talk:HMS Liverpool (C11)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Query: according to my father (Norman Gomersall, who was on board from 1939) Liverpool was used to transfer major gold reserves to America (Mare Island Navy Yard) and the ship was repaired there, not in Rosyth. The crew did not remain while repairs happened; it was sent to New York by train (before America entered the war - the crew were transported across country in secret) and from there were repatriated to England. My father is now dead - anyone around who knows any more about this? (originally posted by anon 212.44.22.39)
