can any one help, my brother served on the naval castal survey ship HMS Fawn I am trying to get a photo of it for him can any one let me know where it can be purchased

20 years ago I was looking for a simular picture and I remember there was one shop in town that sold special name-framed pictures of all ships in the fleet.
It's in my office; I will have a look at it on Monday to say if the name of the shop is on the back.

Launched: 29 February 1968 at Brooke Marine, Lowestoft, England.

I will look into Janes Fighting ships tomorrow; you have to be a subscriber to look at the pictures on their website.

The Janes on-lines database only has pictures of 2 sister ships.

Wright & Logan of Portmouth is the shop that sells pictures you search, but also the Fawn is not on their on-line website; see:

There is something in the historic photographs collection on the National Maritime Museum website.

It may take a little research.
