BALTIC CRUISE REWARD has now been in l cottttuissiott siitce March wlten she I procccdctl south front (‘lydebank and gave I§as‘ter leave. I’rotu then until .sttninter leave trials were carried out and at titties. from all ziceounts. lhese seemed as llttltlglt they would never cttd. and tlte wish never to see SpitItcad again was heard very often.

There was one break— the ship paid a Whitsun week-end visit to (iuemsey.

After Siiintiier leave. 'I'ip.cr went to under I-‘lag Portland to “work it Otliccr Sea Training or five weeks.

Depending ttpon the view point. Portland is either further front Portsmotitlt or nearer to I)e\-onport. but as leave does not enter into :i work-up scheme. the viewpoint is unintportant. The great thing is ttot so much tltat the work-tip is over but that it is felt that the shin is now ati ellicient unit of tlte tlcct. Perhaps‘ as a reward for hard viorli. the ship is tiow on a llaltic cruise and everyone oti board intends to ntalse the most of it.

'Ihc ship was lauttclted in I945 at John Brown's yard :tttd for years the hull lay there. Then this new cruiser. ‘lirst of the tinal class of t.-un-artned cruisers. was hiiilt into that hitll. She has many ttcw featiires. features of the kind that are likely to appear in the gitided-missile ships that will replace her when their turn comes. The .I\I.S.
