<br />
<br />Sister ship DIDO became the Gorsethorn. This is reported incorrectly on http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=721275 which refers to the Whitethorn. The correct DIDO info is at http://www.nzmaritimeindex.org.nz/nssco/nsspage.php?vessel=1305226. Is this DIDO 74FC?

<br />Pending Don for data at NOAA/OCL.

<br />
<br />The renaming of Whitethorn took place in 1970 and not 1982 which corresponds to the ships usage in UK waters under the name Whitethorn from 1972.
