HMS Scott will arrive in Gibdock on 14th October before berthing alongside in the Naval Base from 4-20 November. Whilst in Gibraltar, Scott will carry out some routine maintenance.

An ocean survey vessel, HMS Scott is the only vessel of her class and can remain at sea for up to 300 days a year, thanks to her novel crew rotation system. At 13,500 tonnes she is the fifth largest ship in the Royal Navy but only needs a crew of 78.
