"No mention of her ever being named Ipswich!"
Silly me!🙄
Of course Ipswich is not her name - that's her home port, where she is apparently being restored now.

No mention of her ever being named Ipswich! Poetic license on the part of the modeller😉
Happy tugging😊

Nice model of a TID, well worth buying even if she wasn't named after your home town.
