'''HMS ''Roebuck'' (H130)''' was 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'' was enhanced to enable her to operate overseas. She was 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 could 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 was then taken to keep the ship in service until 2014, though this was later revised in December 2009 to a 2010 decommissioning.<ref></ref> It has been declared that the ship has been sold to the ] for £5 million.<ref><http://www.thisisdevon.co.uk/news/officer-8217-s-warning-Navy-ships-sold/article-2130100-detail/article.html></ref><ref><http://combatfleetoftheworld.blogspot.com/2010/04/bangladesh-navy-to-buy-ex-hms-roebuck.html></ref> |

''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 2005, and then deployed to the Mediterranean, returning to the UK in April 2006. Roebuck then deployed to East Africa in June 2006, returning on Monday 21 August 2006. |
