1949

As Assistant British Naval Attaché in then Nanking, China in 1949, Lieutenant-Commander Kerans took command of HMS Amethyst (F116) when the ship came under fire on the Yangtze River during the final stages of the Chinese Civil War after the captain and 16 others were killed in the shelling.

The ship was detained for ten weeks during negotiations for its release, until Kerans led a night-time escape.

Kerans was awarded the Distinguished Service Order.
