From Wikipedia:

The Hunt class is a class of thirteen mine countermeasure vessels of the Royal Navy. As built, they combined the separate roles of the traditional minesweeper and that of the active minehunter in one hull. They have a secondary role as offshore patrol vessels.

Upon introduction ...they were the largest warships ever built out of glass-reinforced plastic.

Details of GRP works carried out cannot be shared.

This project involved working closely with the customer (Harland & Wolff / MOD) in-situ in the south of England. A range of GRP repairs and upgrades were provided.

Thank you to all involved in delivering this project.

And also to every person who supported the team along the way from outside the shipyard too.
