An interesting visitor in West India Dock is the Irish Navy ship, LÉ George Bernard Shaw (P64).
The ship is the fourth and final ship of the P60 class vessels built for the Irish Naval Service in Babcock Marine Appledore, Devon.
The ship is designed as on Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV), she is 90.00 m (295.28 ft) long and a beam of Beam 14.00 m (45.93 ft).
The ship entered into service in 2018, and, following a military fit-out, has commenced Maritime Defence and Security Operations at sea.
The ship is named after one of Ireland’s most celebrated and well-known playwrights, critics and intellectuals, George Bernard Shaw.
It is unusual to see an Irish ship in dock and is a welcome visitor to the dock which still has the PHI and Reef Chief berthed.
