[Platforms] Hesperides - I'm confused

[Roy Lowry]

Hi Marilynn,

Mitch's e-mail confuses and worries me a little.  Are we sure that there were two Hesperides?  I can find no evidence of there being two ships of that name - as I see it all the evidence points to the callsign for 29HE being incorrect in the master list.  If there were two ships and one carried the callsign EDPQ we need to sort out their operational dates.  So far all we know for certain is that the current hull came into operation in 1991. If there was only one ship we don't need another code - we simply change the callsign.

I'll get Fran to search around today to see if she can find anything out.  I'll also see if Maria Jesus can find out anything more.

Cheers, Roy.

Marilynn and All:

I have entered these two ships as requested;  also I have entered the  
Hesperides as 29AN and the call sign as EBBW as per Maria Jesus Garcia.

Regards,
