Minesweepers at Arkhangelsk and Murmansk 1941 - 44 Halcyons in the Arctic Part of Naval Battles week on WW2TV Our return guest today is Nick Stanley who retired after a 40 year career in the Royal Navy in 2017. Nick qualified as a Mine Warfare and Clearance Diving Officer in 1981 and served in MCMVs of the 'Ton', 'Hunt' and 'Sandown' classes (commanding HMS WALNEY of the latter type). He also Commanded the Type 23 Frigate HMS GRAFTON. Halcyon class fleet minesweepers played a vital role in the delivery of aid to Russia via the Arctic Convoys. Deployed to the Kola Inlet and the White Sea from 1941 - 1944, and operating from primitive bases, they kept the channels clear and also provided valiant service in the protection of the convoys themselves. Four of their number were lost. Nick Stanley tells their neglected history.
