HMS ''Grimsby'' is a ''Sandown''-class minehunter of the British Royal Navy, and the second ship to bear the name.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=HMS Grimsby )〕 ==History== She was built by Vosper Thornycroft, in Woolston, Hampshire, and commissioned in 1999. The class was originally named as the Single Role Minehunter and was planned to complement the capabilities of the preceding Hunt class and to be cheaper to build. ''Sandown''-class MCMVs are highly manoeuvrable vessels due to being fitted with Voith-Schneider propulsors allowing rapid turning at slow speeds or whilst stationary. They are considered to be amongst the best active minehunters in the world. On 24 January 2002, while her divers were searching for a 500 lb bomb in Gibraltar, she was approached by the Spanish patrol boat ''Conejera'', which refused to leave when asked by the crew of , claiming they were in Spanish waters. At 2am on 29 September 2004 the 480-ton craft lost power and drifted into the ''Duchess M'' ferry (Gravesend to Tilbury), owned by the Lower Thames and Medway Passenger Boat Company in Gravesend, also damaging their ''Princess Pocahontas''. In 2012 she entered a 6-month Support Period (Docking) in Rosyth which will include replacing the entire fire detection system, upgrade communications systems and habitability improvements. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Grimsby (M108)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
