Holyhead Marine

Representatives from Holyhead Marine Services and Amgram travelled to Belfast this week to carry out inclining trials on HMS caroline. Launched and commissioned in 1914 HMS Caroline is the second oldest ship in RN service. She is the last remaining British World War One light cruiser in service, and the last survivor of the Battle of Jutland still afloat. She now acts as a static headquarters for the Royal Naval Reserve although it is due to be decomissioned in the coming weeks.

HMS Exploit recently completed a successful Slip period at Holyhead following an intensive four week work program. As always, the Holyhead refit team pulled out all the stops to ensure the Contract Acceptance Date was met,  the vessel was returned to service on Monday the 5th October following a rigorous trials program.

The refit team at Holyhead Marine would like to wish Exploit’s MEO Mike Spooner all the very best as he departs from Ship’s Company in the near future.

Work has already started on HMS Charger, the next Archer Class vessel in this refit program. Word on her progress soon.
