HMS ''Hodgeston'' was a Ton-class minesweeper which saw service with the Royal Navy during the Cold War. Built by Fleetlands Shipyard, she was launched on 6 April 1954 and broken up in 1988.〔Janes Fighting Ships. Blackman, Raymond VB. McGraw Hill Canada 1955〕〔http://www.military-genealogy.org.uk/4258/HMS_Hodgeston〕 ==Royal Navy Service== She spent many years attached to the 10th Mine Counter Measure (MCM10) Squadron manned by the Royal Naval Reserve (RNR). Between 1954 and 1960 she was renamed HMS ''Northumbria'' whilst attached to the Tyne Division of the RNR HMS ''Calliope'' based at Gateshead. Between 1961 and 1975 she was renamed HMS ''Venturer'' whilst attached as sea-going tender to the Severn Division of the RNR at based in Bristol. From the late 1975 to the end of her RNR service she was attached as sea-going tender to the Clyde Division of the RNR (HMS ''Graham'') based in Glasgow. She attended the 1977 Silver Jubilee Fleet Review off Spithead when she was part of the 10th Mine Countermeasures Squadron.〔Official Souvenir Programme, 1977. ''Silver Jubilee Fleet Review'', HMSO〕 Until 1980 she was known as HMS ''Clyde'' (the traditional name for ships attached to HMS ''Graham''). However from that year naming policy with regard to ships allocated to RNR Divisions changed and she reverted her own name during this period. She was de-commissioned in 1985 following the acquisition of the River-class minesweeper as her successor as tender to HMS ''Graham''. Following this she spent time attached to the Fisheries Protection Squadron of the Royal Navy before being sold in September 1988. She was broken up at Bruges by 29 December 1988.〔 She is the only ship of the name to serve in the Royal Navy to date. 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 Hodgeston (M1146)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
