Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Pictured is HMS Scott, returning to Portsmouth Naval Base for a rare visit after spending a record-breaking summer gathering survey data in the North Atlantic.

HMS Scott is an ocean survey vessel and is the third Royal Navy ship to carry the name. The only vessel of her class, she can remain at sea for up to 300 days a year, thanks to her novel crew rotation system.

Built as an ocean survey vessel, she was specially designed to carry the modern High Resolution Multi Beam Sonar System (HRMBSS). This swathe echo sounder is capable of collecting depth information over a strip of the seabed several kilometres wide.

She is the largest survey vessel in Western Europe, and the fifth largest vessel in the Royal Navy. Named for the famous Arctic explorer Robert Falcon Scott, she also has an auxiliary role as a mine countermeasures vessel.
