Anyone know the answer to the mystery ship competiton in this month's Navy News?
There is a picture but obviously i can't show it here. The questions reads;
This month's mystery ship was a trawler, which, with her sister, acted as an RNR training ship in the 1970s, as well as testing mine countermeasures equipment, before being returned to her owner in 1983.
This ship gave her name to the class
1. What was her RN name?
2. What was her original name?

Thanks in advance

Sorry no - it's the 'Navy News' s paper produced for RN servicemen.

Two possible answers
HMS Venturer - originally Suffolk Harvester
HMS Saint David - originally Suffolk Monarch
Both reverted to their former names and owner in November 1983
