HMS Yarmouth (F101)
HMS ''Yarmouth'' was the first modified Type 12 frigate of the ''Rothesay'' class to enter service with the Royal Navy. From her commissioning in 1960, she performed in numerous roles, including the Third Cod War and the Falklands War.
==Service history==
From 1961 until 1966 ''Yarmouth'' was the leader of the 20th Frigate Squadron.〔Royal Navy Senior Appointments, Colin Mackie〕 On 13 July 1965 she collided with the submarine ''Tiptoe'', 10 miles south east of Portland Bill. ''Tiptoe'' survived, but had to be repaired at the yards of Cammell Laird. In May 1966 she began a long refit and modernisation at Portsmouth Dockyard. The main alterations were to build a hangar and flight deck for a Wasp Helicopter and to fit Seacat anti-aircraft missiles. She re-commissioned on 1 October 1968 for service in the Western Fleet and then in the Far East Fleet. In 1971 she was present at Portsmouth Navy Days.〔Programme, ''Navy Days Portsmouth, 29th-31st August 1971'', p17.〕
In April 1970 whilst on the Beira Patrol she was diverted to be a long stop for the rescue of Apollo 13. Communications in the Indian Ocean were very poor. The recovery instructions were sent from Houston to Halifax, Nova Scotia where the Royal Canadian Navy sent them by Morse Code to the ship. The recovery manual was taken down by communications ratings, two at a time, with pencil and paper. Luckily the space craft came down amongst a US Navy task force with two aircraft carriers and television cameras in the Pacific Ocean.
In March 1976, in the course of the Third Cod War, ''Yarmouth'' was rammed and heavy damaged in her bow by the Icelandic gunboat ''Baldur''. She had to limp away from the patrol area assisted by the Royal Maritime Auxiliary Service tug ''Rollicker''. ''Yarmouth'' underwent repairs at Chatham, where she was fitted with a new bow section.〔(Yarmouth (1976) )〕
