Here's a nice one, and it's for sale

Former Ham Class Minesweeper converted to private yacht - http://www.camperandnicholsons.com/sale ... xOiI4Ijt9/

Blimey you'd never guess!

Kind regards

Found Osprey's website - http://www.ospreyyachtcharter.com/history.htm

It's a very nice boat

[John]

Blimey that's some conversion! I would never have guessed that it was an ex RN minesweeper!

Many thanks

What a sad end to a D-Dy veteran, they've tried to save her so many times :-(

I had no idea what that was! I sometimes sit in a carpark overlooking that dock on my lunchbreak eating chips.

One more ex-RN ship comes to light...

Wow. One of the ships that was sent out to find the lost Franklin Northwest Passage Expedition of 1845.

[DarrenL]

2 more. 1950s Tribal Class Frigates, sold to Indonesia and currently laid up awaiting disposal.

KRI Wilhelmus Zakarias Yohannes (ex-HMS Gurkha F122) and KRI Martha Khristina Tiyahahu (ex-HMS Zulu F124.)

Pardon me, but the 2's on the ship look upside down.

[Garry Russell]

It does..but I thing the hull is widening at that point causing an optical illusion.

Either that or they only had Australian '2's in stock
