This yacht was associated with Mountbatten, when he was Chief of Combined Operations in 1943. Can anyone confirm that this info: HMS Sister Anne, Builder Camper & Nicholson, Twin Screw Steel Motor Yacht built in 1929 Length 130ft is correct? User:Broichmore|Broichmore

Yes, all that would be correct, per Portsmouth Evening News of Thursday 13 June 1929 (apart from "HMS" of course, which came later). User:Davidships|Davidships 03:49, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Lenton & College in Warships of World War II on p330 have a Sister Anne with a pennant of F47 listed under Yachts used as accommodation ships. Gives a tonnage of 250 and a build year of 1929 User:Lyndaship|Lyndaship 13:10, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Not sure which tonnage that 250 is - given it's in a warship context, perhaps displacement of one description or another, though it is spot-on what I get for Thames measurement, commonly used for yachts. As built she was 242grt 155nrt, per Mercantile Navy List. Built for Daisy Fellowes|Mrs Reginald A Fellowes. User:Davidships|Davidships 19:32, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

There's no heading to say what measurement they are using in the accommodation yacht section but the other yacht sections use Thames measurement so I think it would be the same User:Lyndaship|Lyndaship 19:59, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
