Tom, this is a wonderfully presented tribute to Amy. And where are the other comments, dammit?
I had also heard that there was a clear conflict of communication aboard HMS Haslemere, with one of the crew, possibly A/S Raymond Dean, who was better placed aft, to see what was happening, yelling to the bridge to "Stop engines!" and being rebuked by Lt. Cdr. Fletcher for insubordination. It's very possible that Fletcher realised his error, and dived into the water in a vain attempt to retrieve the situation, but not before Amy had been drawn into the rotating screws.
She was a phenomenon. Glamorous, adventurous, and a breaker of glass ceilings, before anyone had even heard of them. That she should meet her end in such a dismal setting as being killed by her rescuers, in, of all places, Hernia Bay in January, is the stuff of Greek tragedy.

Hey Tom, I'm actually a songwriter ( no one famous thank God ;-) and one thing I realy enjoy is writing hero songs. My ultimate Rock & Roll hero is actually Anne Frank ) Keith Richards & Johnny Marr ) coming close seconds and, with the help of videos like yours, I can feel a song coming on about Amy 💫✈️💫
