HMS TROUBRIDGE (R 00) -  TUMULT class Destroyer - Flotilla Leader

HMS TROUBRIDGE was originally built as a 'T' class destroyer (1,730 tons) built and laid down by John Brown on 23rd September 1942 and was completed in 1943. (Ship adopted by Walthamstow London). During 1955-57 she was converted to a Type 15 frigate (2,240 tons).

The BBC radio comedy team (Leslie Phillips, Jon Pertwee, Ronnie Barker etc.) of the "Navy Lark" (HMS TROUTBRIDGE) were closely linked with the ship. Their Ships Badge was very similar with the exception that the bridge in the centre of the badge was broken! The tapes of the "Navy Lark" were specially sent to the Troubridge and were often played over the SRE.

The Crest is Hand Painted on Plaster on a Wooden Plaque and is approx 50+ years old.

Measures 7 1/4 "high BY 5 7/8" wide.
