HMS Duchess a Daring class destroyer launched by Thornycroft in 1952, seen here during a visit to the Tyne on 15 December 1962.

Brian Am i right in saying that only DEFENDER & DUCHESS Were the only 2 ships of the Class to pay a visit to the river?
Not counting DARING which was built at Swans.

Dave - agreed - I can find no other visits to the Tyne by Daring class ships.
