HMS Chiddingfold (M37) : ウィキペディア英語版 | HMS Chiddingfold (M37)
HMS ''Chiddingfold'' is a of the British Royal Navy. She was launched in October 1983 by her sponsor, Lady Anne Kennon, and formally entered the service of the Royal Navy in October 1984. ''Chiddingfold'' is a minehunter, and her purpose is to find and destroy mines, not only in a time of war but also in peacetime. There are about a quarter of a million mines still active from the Second World War alone and they pose a major threat to both military and civilian ships. ''Chiddingfold'' is able to enter some types of minefields without the mines detonating. This is because she is made of glass-reinforced plastic and all fixtures within the ship are made of non-ferrous metals, keeping the ship's magnetic signature to the bare minimum. In January 2012, ''Chiddingfold'' began a year-long mid-life upgrade project, including the replacement of her engines, gearboxes, propellers and an upgraded thruster system; she was the first vessel of her class to undergo the refurbishment. ==Affiliations== ''Chiddingfold'' has a connection with the small village of Chiddingfold, and every year they have a stall at the Chiddingfold fete.
