'''HMS ''Roebuck'' (H130)''' is a coastal survey vessel of the ] (RN). She was commissioned in 1986, and was the last traditional survey ship to join the fleet. Although nominally used for surveying along the ] ], with the downsizing of the survey fleet, ''Roebuck'' has been enhanced to enable her to operate overseas. She is fitted with a full suite of ] sensors, and a Survey Motor Boat for inshore work. In addition, as with the other vessels of the survey squadron, she can also operate as a support ship for ] warfare vessels. ''Roebuck'' was due to be decommissioned in 2003 following the entry into service of the ]. However, the decision has since been taken to keep the ship in service until 2014. |

''Roebuck'' was the first RN ship into ] following the ]. The work she carried out prior to, and during, the war proved invaluable, allowing ] ships to operate closer to shore than previously thought possible, and reducing helicopter flying time by ten minutes per sortie during the landings. ''Roebuck'' completed a Ship Life Extension Period (refit) towards the end of ], and then deployed to the Mediterranean, returning to the UK in April 2006. Roebuck then deployed to East Africa in June ], returning on Monday 21st August. |

During 2008 HMS ''Roebuck'' acted as the Command Platform for the NATO minehunting group SNMCMG1. |
