HMS Sabre is a Scimitar-class fast patrol boat of the British Royal Navy. She was commissioned into the Gibraltar Squadron on 31 January 2003 along with her sister {{HMS|Scimitar|P284|2}}, and is used for police, customs and rescue purposes.[1] The two boats allowed the two {{sclass-|Archer|patrol vessel}} of the squadron, {{HMS|Trumpeter|P294|2}} and {{HMS|Ranger|P293|2}}, to be reassigned to the Cyprus Squadron in April 2003 and April 2004 respectively. Operational historyMV Grey WolfThe boat had previously been used in Northern Ireland since 1993 as MV Grey Wolf[2][3] and was based in Lough Neagh, Northern Ireland where she was manned by Royal Marines.[4] HMS SabreOn Friday 10 April 2009 a vessel from Spain's Civil Guard Police force entered Gibraltar territorial waters unannounced and approached the area near Gibraltar's airport.[5] HMS Sabre approached, and there was no response from the Spanish vessel. It was warned to leave the territorial waters, and after consulting with its superiors it did so. However, accounts vary between the Royal Navy and the Spanish versions. The Royal Navy states that its guns were loaded at the time, however the Spanish accounts state that the guns were specifically pointed at the Spanish vessel. In addition, Spanish MP Jose Ignacio Landaluce from the People's Party vowed to take up the issue in parliament. He said Spain "would not allow a Civil Guard vessel to be expelled from its own home". In May 2016 Spain's Civil Guard Police force vessel Rio Cedena twice tried to cut across the path of the submarine {{USS|Florida|SSGN-728|6}} in Gibraltar territorial waters.[6] HMS Sabre fired warning flares to deter the Spanish vessel.[7] ReplacementIn July 2017 it was revealed that the Gibraltar Squadron would receive two new warships which will be more "capable", "faster" and have "bigger guns", to replace Sabre and Scimitar "within the next two years".[8] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/server/show/nav.2198 |title=Gibraltar Squadron - Introduction and History |website=Royal Navy |accessdate=23 November 2008 |dead-url=yes |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081114081959/http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/server/show/nav.2198 |archive-date=14 November 2008}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/server/show/nav.5754 |title=HMS Sabre |website=Royal Navy |accessdate=23 November 2008 |dead-url=yes |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081110004130/http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/server/show/nav.5754 |archive-date=10 November 2008}} 3. ^{{Colledge}} Gives the former name of HMS Sabre as HMS Grey Fox, in contradiction to the MOD website which says that MV Grey Fox was the former name of HMS Scimitar. 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://publishing.yudu.com/A9cr/navynewsapril/resources/12.htm?skipFlashCheck=true |title=The sharp side of the Rock |newspaper=Navy News |publisher=Royal Navy |date=April 2007 |page=12 |accessdate=23 November 2008}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.defencemanagement.com/news_story.asp?id=9243 |title=Navy confronts Spain near Gibraltar |date=21 April 2009 |website=DefenceManagement.com |access-date=9 March 2019 |dead-url=yes |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110709010917/http://www.defencemanagement.com/news_story.asp?id=9243 |archive-date=9 July 2011}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.maritime-executive.com/article/royal-navy-boat-warns-off-spanish-vessel-with-flares |title=Royal Navy Boat Warns Off Spanish Vessel with Flares |date=5 May 2016 |website=The Maritime Executive |access-date=9 March 2019}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.businessinsider.com/royal-navy-fires-warning-shots-as-spanish-vessel-harasses-us-sub-in-gibraltar-2016-5 |title=Royal Navy fires warning shots as Spanish vessel harasses US sub in Gibraltar |last=Farmer |first=Ben |date=5 May 2016 |website=Business Insider |access-date=9 March 2019}} 8. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.gbc.gi/news/gibraltar-squadron-receive-two-new-warships |title=Gibraltar Squadron to receive two new warships |date=5 July 2017 |website=Gibraltar Broadcasting Corporation |access-date=9 March 2019}} External links
