HMS ''Roebuck'' 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'' is currently nearing the end of a Ship Life Extension Period (refit) and is due to deploy back to ] later this year. ''Roebuck'' has the distinction of holding more battle honours than any other ship in the RN, and more ships have been called ''Roebuck'' than any other name in RN history. |
