2,080 1Sherman Alpha Tester 6,683 posts 3,338 battles Report post #1 Posted July 11, 2021 I just found an article on how HMS Emerald, among other ships, was used as part of Operation Fish in 1940 to help transport Britain's gold supplies to Canada in order to keep them out of Nazi hands should Operation Sealion have taken place. It's not much, but I found it quite interesting since I'd never heard about Operation Fish before and I figured there might be a few people here that might want to read it too. Hope you enjoy it!

Shame it's not still available - I'd play her a lot more if it was...but she's pretty much a Port Queen for me now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hers was payment from the Soviets as part of the Lend-Lease Act. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
