HC Deb 10 December 1952 vol 509 c55W
39. Mr. Callaghan

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, when H.M.S. "Plym" was last refitted; and what was the cost.

Mr. J. P. L. Thomas

Apart from her preparation for the atom bomb test, this ship was given a refit—the first since the end of the war—in the latter part of 1950 to ensure that she was in a reasonable state of preservation before being placed in a low reserve category. No alterations or additions were carried out and the cost was approximately £50,000.
