Unsung vessels like Lancastria and Alcantera that played a vital part in moving troops or escorting convoys around the world, often encountering tough opposition that they had never been designed to meet! | Albatros 1/1250 HMCS Prince Henry, a WW2 Armed Merchant Cruiser (Alk126) The Canadian Government requisitioned three large ferries to serve as AMCs early in WW2, Prince Henry (shown here as converted), Prince Robert (which has been modelled as an AA vessel later in the war by Argonaut but is no longer available) and Prince David. They were used to escort Atlantic convoys until the threat of Merchant Raiders dimimished. These ships were also used as Convoy Flagships and Rescue Ships and, in the latter role, they would stand by escort carriers to rescue pilots of crashed aircraft. The model could be used to represent any of the sisterships. | |
