HMS Intrepid: Curious to know more about a ‘Fisgig’ (a
form of harpoon), which is mounted on a polished wooded plinth and
was presented to HMS Intrepid by HM Dockyard Portsmouth ‘to
commemorate a successful combined op. Jan 1974 to Jan 1975’.
Mark served in HMS Intrepid from 1984 - 1987 and carry many fond
recollections from the period. He would be most interested and grateful
if anyone could advise him of the significance of the Fisgig in relation
to what he assumes was a DED or mini-refit undertaken by Portsmouth
Dockyard during the period Jan 74 - Jan 75. Contact Mark
