WE HAVE A WINNER
Novice has produced our number 250 british badge
The winning badge is the above for HMS Jervis Bay. With Novice's speciality in merchant vessels it may be a pleasant triumph, that this badge going to be the jubilee number.
For all who don't know the history of Jervis Bay, here it is in short: She was build as a steam liner for Aberdeen & Commonwealth Line company as SS Jervis Bay and launched in 1922. Royal Navy aquired her in August 1939 and converted her to an Armed Merchant Cruiser and commisioned her in October 1940 as HMS Jervis Bay. Her service time became rather short. Already 5 November 1940 - escorting a convoy - she was sunk by KMS Admiral Scheer
