Returning home after participating for the second time in Operation Atalanta, the EU anti-piracy operation in the Gulf of Aden.
Built in the early 80ies as a minelayer and training ship for midshipmen. The minelayer mission went away late in the last century and the midshipmen cruises a couple of years later due to cost savings. Have been considered as a replacement AGI instead of HMS Orion or as a support vessel. For now she is one the larger patrol vessels in the world.....
