It's nice to hear from you, Ralph, and I shall certainly let you know when the new edition of A HARD FOUGHT SHIP is published, probably in Autumn next year.
The new author who took over when Bob Moore, the author of the first edition, died is Captain John Rodgaard USN, a distinguished naval historian as well as a serving officer i the USN.
In the meantime can you please let me know whether the family have any photographs taken aboard VENOMOUS? Or any stories told by your grandfather?
Do you have your grandfather's service record? This is obtainable (for a fee!) from:

I am also writing an account of my father's life which includes a chapter called THREE DAYS IN NORWAY. My father, William Redvers Forster (1900-75) was the Lt(E) on HMS VENOMOUS from August 1944 until it was handed over for scrapping sometime in 1946.
