When I was on the USS Proteus AS-19 a submarine tender a repair ship. We were in Diego Garcia we were at anchor we have a forward and aft anchor so the ship doesn't swing. We serviced any type of ship that came along side. Well, the HMS Sheffield came along side for some repairs. They used our liberty boats to get to shore we got to check out their ship as they did to ours. Noticed in the berthing space they had carpets we had a cold tile deck in ours and another thing a bar on board. Do remember a Australian submarine that had beer stored in a torpedo tube. After the repairs he headed for the Falklands war, and it got hit by a missile and did not make it. Our ship felt for the crew and in our cruise book they put a memorial in the book. I saw this plaque on eBay and bought it. Somehow it got the states without a tariff added to it.
