World Cruise 1968 Association


Destroyer DO1 - The history of HMS Caprice 1942 - 1979 ... and the men who served in her

The Association, over the years, has accumulated numerous pictures and information of HMS Caprice from 1942 to 1979. In fact we have become the de facto archives of the ship’s history! In 2008, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the 1968 World Cruise it was decided to publish a book. The book's contents grew rapidly from just the 1967-68 Commission to include all of the ship's history. Its 93 pages contain over 130 photos and diagrams.

It has now been published and is available at £12 per copy plus £1 P&P. Cheques should be made out to HMS Caprice (1968) Association. Discounts are available to Association members and contributors.

Please contact Graham Latter at 62 Mill Rise, Swanland, East Yorkshire HU14 3PW if you want to order a copy. Tel 01482 632276 (before 1800 please as I do not work 2nd dog or first watches!)

My grateful thanks to all those sent in information. Graham Latter
