This is the CENTURION /ANSON, armed with "quaker" cannons and painted secondary's. She went to Gibraltar, rounded the horn to come back to Alexandria, where her original mission was cancelled. CENTURION/ ANSON actually escorted a convoy, but was called back when it was rumoured that the Italian fleet had sailed (pom-poms vs whatever the Italians could bring was not a healthy deal). Adm Sommerville decided that she was to much a "bomb magnet" in harbor (GEORGIC was bombed and beached for being too close in proximity), so she was sent to the Indian Ocean, and lost "A Turret" in a storm. She returned to Bombay, and spread rumours that she lost her turret in a fight with a raider.
Anyway, in the end, she fulfilled her original mission, leading a column of ships to form a breaker off Normandy. The Germans thought they had sunk a major ship with heavy loss of life when only the seventy sailors aboard abandoned ship.
