Thanks Joe,
Originally built as the Invernia for Cunard and remodelled and renamed as Franconia before being sold to Russians.

HMS Daring escorted us up to and through Suez last year. The navy liaison office on board the cruise ship (Arcadia ) told us Daring was using the opportunity to exercise as if she was escorting a Carrier.

The Atlantic Cartier was built in built in 1985 Phil,

The Atlantic Conveyor (built 1970) before she was sunk.
Atlantic Conveyor was a British merchant navy ship, registered in Liverpool, that was requisitioned during the Falklands War.
She was hit on 25 May 1982 by two Argentine air-launched AM39 Exocet missiles, killing 12 sailors. Atlantic Conveyor sank whilst under tow on 28 May 1982.

A few years back Vinny posted a superb photo of an ACL vessel approaching Liverpool .
It was that good I suggested he send it to ACL for their portfolio.
Anyone ever hear from Vinny ?
