The Association came about in 1988 following a get-together of a
few shipmates who kept in touch after serving on the cruiser's (C42)
1944-1947 commission and had now retired. They met up north
and it was such a nostalgic success that they agreed to meet again
and meanwhile to search for other shipmates through National and
local papers, commercial radio stations, Navy News, telephone
directories and ex-servicemen's clubs. |

1964 - 1989 Mission Statement “To promote the ideals and aims of the HMS Euryalus Association, to bring together old shipmates, share memories and learn about the glorious history of the six ships who carried the name Euryalus” |

The quest had been ongoing ever since and as the word spread and the association grew, shipmates from the frigate, F15 (1964-89), were invited to join. Over recent years, by request of previous committees and with the full support of the membership as whole, the helm of the association has been turned over gradually from C42 to F15 shipmates.
