When HMS Carysfort was in Mombasa in late July 1966 the carrier Eagle entered harbour. Shortly after the Captain of Eagle sent his launch over to collect POM(E) Frank Malone DSM. Here's why. The Captain of Eagle J C Y Roxburgh CBE DSO DSC and bar and Frank served together on the submarine United in the Med 1942/43 completing 10 patrols. Shown above is the citation for Frank an acting PO Stoker at the time who was awarded the DSM on Nov 43 and a 23 year old called Lieutenant J C Y Roxburgh who was the CO of the submarine and awarded the DSO. Some say that the Captain of Eagle called on Frank and there was a massive kerfuffle on the Iron Deck but Captain Roxburgh said no fuss this is a private visit. Some also say they can't recall Eagle being in Mombasa. It certainly was because I listened to the World Cup Final on her SRE on 30th July 1966 in 800 Sqdn mess with George Pennell a killick writer who was on the Squadron.
