There will be a detailed account of the part played by HMS VENOMOUS (plus some unique photographs never previously published) in rescuing survivors from HMS HECKLA in a new edition of A HARD FOUGHT FOUGHT SHIP: THE STORY OF HMS VENOMOUS (1990) by Robert J Moore to be published next year. The new edition will be jointly authored by Bob Moore and Captain John Rodgaard USN.

I would be interested in hearing from anybody who may have additional information or who wishes to be sent details of the book on publication.
