Talk:HMS Penelope (F127)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1988 HMS Penelope lost her steering and collided with the Canadian Navy supply ship Preserver. I was 4 feet from the impact area on Preserver. Bob Morrell ylloh at nbnet, nb, ca

[edit] Killing passengers and crew????
"In 1968, Penelope assisted in the aftermath of the Aer Lingus Flight 712 crash in the Irish Sea, killing all sixty-one passengers and crew."
I had no idea the Royal Navy had ever done such a heinous thing... BobThePirate 17:57, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
Did not PENELOPE hold the world record as one stage of being the fasted towed vessel? I recall the trophy cabinet in the Officers cabin flat having an example of the tow rope before and after the tow. She was towed at high speed with her propellors off to investage hull noise.
