While at sea the British Royal Navy cruiser HMS Kenya received an urgent signal from the Australian destroyer " Norman" requesting the transfer of a member of her crew, Able Seaman Bruce Gillmore, for an immediate appendix operation.
Both ships drew as near alongside as the seas would permit, " Kenya" then swung out a cradle attached to her crane, the sick man was then laid in the cradle and swung aboard the cruiser where the operation was successfully completed in the operating theatre.
