[ANV] Lord0 [ANV] Players 188 posts 2,701 battles Report post #1 Posted September 10, 2018 On 4 August 1960 HMS Vanguard was towed from Portsmouth Harbour to the Breakersyard at Faslane in the Gareloch,Scotland, just a few miles from where she first set sail in 1946. Under the command of Lt. Cdr. W.G. Frampton were two officers and sixty ratings.She had been sold to the British Iron and Steel Corporation for £560,000. A look back at halcyon days.

Coming to late to the to even have a chance of making a difference; being useless and a burden on your side the entire time is what every BB player strives to be - can you think think of a better embodiment to that than Vanguard? #everybbplayerisvanguard 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Admiral William Halsey at the battle of Leyte Gulf, 200 or so miles out of position chasing CV, ignored pleas for help from 7th fleet then finally arrived where he was needed far too late to do anything. And WG added him as a unique captain in the game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
