HMS MERSEY - P283

The 'River' class Offshore Patrol Vessel MERSEY was seen on Wednesday morning exercising on the Clyde. She was the third, and last, of the three ships of the original batch built by Vosper Thornycroft under a leasing arrangement between the yard and the MoD. Together with sisters TYNE and SEVERN, MERSEY spends most of her time on fishery protection duties around the coastline of England and Wales.
