HMS TYNE

Hms Tyne is seen here arriving Leith (Edinburgh) Monday 13 December for a 5 day R & R visit.    

She is the first of the River Class Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV's) built for Fishery Protection around the UK. These OPVs, including sister ships HMS Severn and HMS Mersey, are taking over from the Island Class. HMS Tyne was built in Woolston Docks, Southampton and is based at HM Naval Base Portsmouth.

The current HMS Tyne is the sixth ship to bear the name in the Royal Navy. 

A new Commanding Officer took command of the vessel in July 2010 - Lieutenant Commander Will Peters Royal Navy.  From mid 2007 to late 2009 he enjoyed a productive period with the Joint Tactical Exercise Planning Staff, based at the Northwood Headquarters, where his responsibilities included planning advanced ASW exercises and bespoke amphibious, mine countermeasures and diving training as part of the bi-annual Joint Warrior Exercises.
