I am seeking the name and hopefully a contact for, HMS/SM Alcide's last Commanding Officer.  I was at HMS Dolphin in 1969-1971.  Alcide was alongside awaiting to be towed to the trot for scrapping. I have something from the submarine that I think he may like.

Thanks,
Richard Broniman

Do you have a chronology of H.M.S. Alcide's sea trips in 1951? Was she in Halifax N.S. during the summer of 1951?

Alcide was based in Halifax, Nova Scotia from 1957 to February 1959. Her crew, Canadian and British sailors were messed on HMCS Ambrose which is a Stone Frigate in Halifax. I was drafted to the Alcide when she left from a refit in Camel Lairds, Liverpool in 1957. I stayed with her through the next four years and left when I was rated Leading Seaman in 1961. I hope this is helpful.
