Talk:CS Monarch

Fifth CS Monarch[edit]

Hi. The article currently lists four cable ships named CS Monarch, the last of them built in 1945 and scrapped in 1977. However, the list is incomplete. When I worked at British Telecom Research Laboratories in the late 1980s, BT Marine owned three cable ships based at Southampton. They were called CS Iris, CS Alert and CS Monarch. I sailed on the CS Alert in 1988 (laying the first section of the TAT8 transatlantic optical fibre cable). However, I never was on the CS Monarch and don't know anything else about it except that it was smaller than the CS Alert. Dodo64 (talk) 11:40, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
