Part of Paragraph 46 of the 1975 Defence Review (CAB.129.181.c21)Do you know if the Fleet Maintenance Ship was to replace Triumph and which ships (if any) the Afloat Support Ship was to have replaced?That photo is dated 24th April 1974 and was taken at Portsmouth. Except, Triumph wasn't sold for scrapping until December 1981 and she had been in reserve at Chatham since 1972 or 1975 depending upon the book or website. Therefore, the date and description is wrong or the date is correct and possibly she's being towed from Portsmouth (after the refit some sources say she had before going into reserve) to Chatham.
