In the early hours of Saturday 26 February 2011, HMS CUMBERLAND arrived alongside Malta carrying 207 persons evacuated from Libya. The 69 British nationals and 138 passengers from other nations were evacuated from Benghazi, Libya's second city, on Thursday.

BZ, Captain, Officers and Ships' Company, understand you had a choppy crossing.
I heard on the TV and radio from your Pax that you looked after them wonderfully considering the cramped conditions.
I hope you will not end up as razor blades on your return to the UK or sold for 30 pieces of silver to India or Bangladesh or even Argentina knowing this government.
God bless and good sailing..
