HMS Port Napier

I saw this article and thought that I would contact you with this information.

My father, Captain David Milne Morrice,MBE retired as the "Chief Salvage Officer for the MOD in 1977. During his career I spent quite a bit of time with him in the summer during my school holidays. I spent six weeks with him during the time the Mines of HMS port Napier's mines were being removed.

I have photos of those mines were being taken out of HMS Port Napier and also a photo of the ship, as a model, had it not been requisitioned by the Navy. My father was the Commanding Officer of ASV Barglow, the ship that took most of the mines out of the wreak. Those that were removed were then sunk them in deep water in batches of about twenty. Not all the mines were accounted for and quite a few still remain. Those that were removed were in a very dangerious condition where the AMOTOL? had "crystalised"!

I also have films that I have never viewed on other salvage jobs he was on.82.21.135.119 (talk) 16:59, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
