Tyne-class lifeboat
The ''Tyne''-class lifeboat is a class of lifeboat that currently serves the shores of the UK and Ireland as a part of the RNLI fleet. They are named after the River Tyne in north-east England.
They are designed to be launched from slipways or operate in shallow waters where hitting the bottom is a concern. The class was introduced in 1982, and the last boat was built in 1990.
The ''Tyne''-class is gradually being retired. Initially they were superseded by the Tamar class lifeboat, which is 7 knots faster than the ''Tyne'' class. However, only 27 Tamars have been built, compared to 40 Tynes, leaving the remaining Tynes on station to be replaced with the latest ''Shannon''-class boats.
==History==
The two prototype boats were built in 1982, 47-001 "City of London" (ON 1074) and 47-002 "Sam and Joan Woods" (ON 1075). Following completion of the test programme, "City of London" entered service at in November 1983. Replaced by 47-031 "Voluntary Worker" (ON 1146) in 2006, Selsey is scheduled to receive a new class boat in 2015 after almost 32 years service by Tyne class boats, easily the longest of any station. "Sam and Joan Woods" was put into service in the relief fleet in 1984 by which time the first production boats were under construction. Eventually, forty boats were built, the last "Hermione Lady Colwyn" (ON 1158) going into service at in September 1990, serving at that station until 2010 when she was withdrawn and sold, the only Tyne not to record over twenty years service. The RNLI retired the first of the class in 2006. Eight of the earliest boats were sold to China for further duties in 2007 and 2008.
