HC Deb 15 May 1957 vol 570 c21W
3. Major Wall

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty when one of Her Majesty's major warships last paid a courtesy call to a port in the United States.

Mr. Soames:

I assume that my hon. Friend is referring to a visit by a cruiser or something larger. In the spring of 1956 the Cruiser "KENYA ", wearing the flag of the then Commander-in-Chief, America and West Indies Station, paid a series of courtesy visit to United States ports ending at New Orleans from 3rd to 9th April.
