World War Two / Re: Pembroke - Ship sunk ww2 by German U boats?

My father was Tommy Gospell and was stationed at HMS Pembroke between 1939 and 45.  He was on HMS Pelican torpedoed, and lost at sea.  MOD sent a telegram to my Grandmother with the bad news, to be followed by another telegram the next day from my father to say he had been picked up by a fishing boat, and was due home on leave!!  Has anyone got any further info on HMS Pelican?

Hello Laverty, was reading with interest yr message re HMS Pembroke, my father served on this ship from March to Nov 1941 and he told me that he sunk two uboats.  I would be very interested in seeing picture and document re the ship, I also have my father's records.
