ww2dbaseThe HMS Ameer was originally built for the US Navy as USS Bafins Bay (AVG-35). She was transferred to the Royal Navy on 19 July 1943, where she would be commissioned as a Ruler-class carrier, participating in escort missions and supporting amphibious assaults. The Ameer assisted British troops in attacking Malaya and Burma in 1945.

ww2dbaseAfter the war, she was returned to the United States on 17 Jan 1946 and renamed the Robin Kirk in 1948. She was scrapped in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, in 1969.

My father was in charge of the carrier when she was in Vancouver. Not sure if I have any pictures amoung his old chest of photos from the war. All I know is that he was Captain during the time it was in Vancouver. His name is Captain Ronald Birkin.If you need any other information please email me.Angus Birkin.
