Q5631296




HMS Amberley Castle was a Castle-class corvette built for the United Kingdom's Royal Navy during the Second World War. Completed in late 1944, the ship spent the rest of the war escorting 11 convoys between the UK and Gibraltar. After the surrender of German in May 1945, she was assigned air-sea rescue duties until early 1946 when Amberley Castle was reduced to reserve. She was converted into a weather ship in 1959 and subsequently renamed Weather Advisor. The ship was renamed Admiral Fitzroy in 1977 before she was sold for scrap in 1982.
