HMS Atherstone was a {{sclass2-|Hunt|mine countermeasures vessel}} of the Royal Navy, the third ship to bear the name. She was built by Vosper Thornycroft shipbuilders at Woolston, Southampton. She was launched on 1 March 1986 by Mrs Amy Jarvis, the wife of Mr Pat Jarvis, CB, the Deputy Controller of the Navy at the Ministry of Defence, and commissioned on 17 January 1987,[2]. She was the tenth ship of her class. Operational historyShe was accepted into service on 28 November 1986 and commissioned in Portsmouth in early 1987. The ship had a close association with the town of Atherstone, Warwickshire, and was latterly part of the 2nd Mine Countermeasure (MCM) Squadron based at Portsmouth, England. In December 2015, Atherstone returned from the Persian Gulf after a two-year deployment as part of Operation Telic in the Middle East,[3] in support of coalition operations to promote and maintain peace in the Persian Gulf. She helped to provide assurance to merchant shipping, by conducting mine-countermeasure surveys in the main shipping routes throughout the region. She participated in 2014 IMCMEX.[4] After spending a period alongside in extended readiness, Atherstone was lifted out of the water into the "Minor War Vessels Centre of Specialisation"; the former shipbuilding hall at HMNB Portsmouth in December 2016 in readiness to enter refit[5] However, in October 2017 it was revealed that the planned refit would not take place and Atherstone would be decommissioned on 14 December 2017.[6] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/hms-hunt-specs.htm |title=Hunt Class Mine Countermeasures Vessels - Specifications |date=11 July 2011 |website=GlobalSecurity.org |access-date=13 March 2019}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.royal-navy.mod.uk/server/show/nav.1971 |title=HMS Atherstone |website=Royal Navy |access-date=13 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081025031855/http://www.royal-navy.mod.uk/server/show/nav.1971 |archive-date=25 October 2008}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/news-and-latest-activity/news/2015/december/23/151223-atherstone-returns-home |title=HMS Atherstone returns home after more than three years in the Gulf |date=23 December 2015 |website=Royal Navy |access-date=13 March 2019}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/news-and-latest-activity/news/2014/november/06/141106-middle-east-exercise-imcmex |title=Core of Royal Navy's Middle East presence joins massive international minehunting exercise |date=6 November 2014 |website=Royal Navy |access-date=13 March 2019}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/news-and-latest-activity/news/2016/december/13/161213-minehunters-go-undercover-as-quorn-and-atherstone-begin-revamp |title=Minehunters go undercover as Quorn and Atherstone begin revamp |date=13 December 2016 |website=Royal Navy |access-date=13 March 2019}} 6. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/local-news/royal-navy-ship-carries-towns-13819020 |title=Royal Navy ship that carries town's name to be scrapped |first=Nick|last=Reid |date=27 October 2017 |newspaper=Birmingham Mail |access-date=13 March 2019}} External links{{Commons category|HMS Atherstone (M38)}}
