About HMS Amethyst ... The Yanktse Incident 1949
From the Imperial War Museum ... Source: 'The Naval Review' 1950 edition, Part 1 ... This is a short introduction to the HMS Amethyst incident in the Yangtse River when she was fired on by Communist forces with heavy losses to herself and those ships that attempted to rescue her. The London Gazette lists the honours awarded but did not include an official despatch. In its place the proceedings of the House of Commons as recorded in Hansard have been quoted. These cover events in some detail until around the arrival of Commander Kerans to take over command. His own account - from 'The Naval Review' - continues the story until her escape and rejoining the Fleet.
