HMS Cattistock
Cattistock, like her sisters, is built from glass-reinforced plastic – usually shortened to GRP – with a non-magnetic hull that makes her somewhat less noticeable to the lurking dangers in the minefield. Cattistock was built by Vosper Thornycroft, and commissioned into the Navy in June 1982.
It was an honour to accompany The Princess Royal on board HMS Cattistock on this auspicious occasion.
Commodore Jamie Miller
Among the highlights of the small ship’s 2010 was leading the Tall Ships Parade of Sail into Hartlepool in August – the grand finale of the Tall Ships Race 2010.
