I never ever sailed on Hyria. I paid off in drydock in Sasebo 23/4/74 Captain Doug Renton had joined at beginning of drydock, I paid off halfway through. The Chief Stewards cabin still had shrapnel damage visible. I knew the Chief steward who was on there when it was hit and he reckons he was very lucky as he had just walked out of his cabin when it hit.
