Описание: HMS Shoreham arriving at Shoreham Port this morning for the start of it farewell tour

The boat was escorted in to the harbour by RNLI Shoreham Lifeboat all weather lifeboat

In her 20 years of active service the minehunter has alternated her time between training/operations in home and northern European waters, plus extended stints in the Middle East – typically three years at a time – as part of the Royal Navy’s Gulf-based forces.

The ship has clocked up more than 120,000 nautical miles – enough to take her around the world five and a half times – and visited more than 30 ports at home and abroad while serving under the White Ensign.
