HMS Blackpool Cyprus service 1959

The request was successful.

Dear Royal Navy,

Based on the FOI2018/08607 I received the NGSM Cyprus Qualifying Ships Annex A B OS.
This does not show HMS Blackpool as either qualifying or non-qualifying for the NGSM Cyprus clasp.

ADM 53_150800_002 from the national archive is the ships log from the 1st August 1959. This shows the ship is docked in Famagusta Harbor, Cyprus.
ADM 53_150800_003 from the national archive is the ships log from the 2nd August 1959. This shows the ship is docked in Famagusta Harbor, Cyprus.
ADM 53_150800_004 from the national archive is the ships log from the 3rd August 1959. This shows the ship is in the Cape Pyla, Cyprus area.

Why does HMS Blackpool not show on either of the qualifying or non-qualifying lists of NGSM Cyprus Qualifying Ships Annex A B OS when her ships logs show her in location.

Yours faithfully,

antony atkin
