HMS ENTERPRISE returns to Devonport - April 18, 2017

The Royal Navy Echo Class survey ship HMS ENTERPRISE (H88) built by Appledore Shipyard in 2003) made a triumphal return to Devonport on April 18, 2017 after a three year deployment.

HMS Enterprise was at the heart of operations to prevent people smuggling in the Mediterranean. She evacuated more than 200 British citizens from Libya, rescued 9,180 people attempting to undertake deadly crossings of the Mediterranean and destroyed 117 unseaworthy vessels used by people traffickers.

In almost three years, she has steamed across the world, covered 150,000 nautical miles, visited 20 countries, and navigated four seas while conducting maritime security operations, protecting Britain's economy and rescuing people in danger.

The ship’s work has been recognised with the presentation of various Royal Navy awards, both fleetwide and for the survey squadron for efficiency and engineering and for her humanitarian achievements.

The ship entered Plymouth proudly flying an efficiency pennant - an award given to the ship last year and granted special permission to fly the pennant on her return home.

HMS ENTERPRISE is due to deploy again in July 2017.
