HMS PEMBROKE GETS NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART MINEHUNTING SYSTEM
19 May 2020

Faslane based HMS Pembroke recently became the Royal Navy’s most modern Mine Counter-Measures Vessel (MCMV) after being equipped with a new state-of-the-art mine counter-measures Command System.

ORCA or Oceanographic Reconnaissance Combat Architecture, to use it’s full title, was commissioned to replace the existing NAUTIS Command System, allowing the Royal Navy to maintain its position at the tip of the global minehunting spear.

[It is worth noting that there have been quite a number of mine counter measures exercises carried out by NATO during recent years and that we have had minesweepers stationed in the Gulf for some time.]
