Despite the recent defence cuts announced in October, it is likely that the 'Hunt' class minehunters will remain part of the UK's naval forces for a number of years yet, as the eight ships of the class are upgraded over a six-year period, starting later this year. The ships, including HMS QUORN, seen above, are to be fitted with upgraded propulsion systems at their home port of Portsmouth, in a contract worth £15 million that was won by BAE Systems.
