A striking picture of Type 42 destroyer HMS Liverpool against a glorious sunset, taken by LA(PHOT) Reynolds, has been chosen for this year’s Royal Naval Association Christmas card.

RNS General Secretary Commodore Barry Leighton felt the image was particularly striking and relevant, as not only had the ship been very active this year – including participation in the major Naval Task Group 03 deployment to the Far East – but the city of Liverpool was also the venue for major 60th anniversary commemorations for the Battle of the Atlantic, and the RNA had a significant role in those commemorations.

Prices for the cards have been frozen at last year’s level, so you will pay £3.50 for a box of ten.

To order cards, contact HQ RNA at 82, Chelsea Manor Street, London SW3 5QJ, telephone 020 7352 6764, fax 020 7352 7385, or email rna@netcomuk.co.uk
