I am researching my wifes family and have discovered that her Uncle Victor Forrest who died aboard HMS Hood when it was sunk by the German battleship Bismark also served aboard HMS Vivacious a cruiser during 1938, Prior to being transfered to HMS Hood and its fatal sinking in May 1941. Although I have found out some basic information about HMS Vivacious I can not seem to find a picture of her. If anyone has a picture of or knows where I can find one, I would be mos gratful. Yours Chris |
