I always believed also that the type of German support vessel involved in the RAS exercise would make a great asset to our flotilla. The type usually supports smaller missile and mine warfare fast patrol craft, but can also see service alone.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

She is the Mosel an ELbe Class support vessel which normally support German Minesweepers in the Baltic, as for specs:
Displacement 3586tonnes
Length 100m
Beam 15.4m
Draught 4.05m
Crew 36+

As such she should fit into the basin and would be something nice to have

We were so far ahead of the game back at the start of the '80s, without going into the details why, which we know well enough, it is interesting to dwell on the what if? What is Eithne had three sisters, what if we have a second generation P30? Does seem that a lot of modern OPV designs now share a lot with the design and layout of the Eithne: Spanish BAM, Lurssen OPV80/85/90 even the mighty Holland class all have a similar config.

End of mission for the Irish ship James Joice
The Irish ship L.É. JAMES JOYCE ended her involvement in the Task Force and returned back home after 100 days operating in EUNAVFOR MED - operation Sophia.
The crew has operated in hailing 214 merchant vessels and conducting 6 friendly approaches and 2 cooperative inspection onboard merchant vessels transiting in the area of operation, all these activities following the implementation of the arms embargo off the coast of Libya according to UNSCR 2292(2016), recently extended to 11 June 2019 following UNSCR 2420 (2018).
Fair winds and following seas as you sailing back home.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

Hopefully the return unhindered by ministerial red tape, and the family welcomes unhindered by unnecessary ceremonial.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

If they are funking it because of hot incident potential , then upgrade by adding on decoy system and a CIWS unit or 30mm with FCS.
