| HMS Cromer |
Dates: 1991 - 1999 Launched by Lady Brown, wife of Admiral Sir Brian Brown and accepted into service on November 14th 1991. Whilst surveying the wreck of trawler Margenta Maria in 1998 her RCMDS became caught. When later released it was recovered by a trawler owner who then claimed salvage rights, much to the Navy’s embarrassment. As part of the Strategic Defence Review (SDR), which aimed at reducing the Mine Warfare fleet from 25 hulls to 22, H.M.S Cromer was to be paid of in 1999 in order to avoid an expensive refit, despite being only eight years old. It was subsequently announced that she would be one of the three ships transferred to Greece in 2000 as part of Strategic Defence Review cutbacks.
