LÉ Fola (CM12) was a {{Sclass2-|Ton|minesweeper||ship}} of the Irish Naval Service.

Launched in 1955 as HMS Blaxton (M1132) for the Royal Navy (RN),[1] the minesweeper was transferred to the Irish Naval Service on 22 February 1971, and renamed after Fóla, a legendary queen of the Tuatha Dé Danann and a poetic name for Ireland.

The minehunter remained in service until 1987, when she was sold for breaking.[2] Blaxton was launched on 21 June 1955.

Irish Naval Service

HMS Blaxton was handed over to the Irish Naval Service on 22 February 1971. Together with {{ship|LÉ|Banba|CM11|2}} (previously HMS Alverton), the newly acquired vessel was commissioned as Fola the next day.[2][3]

Following her commissioning, Fola in company with Banba, worked up in the Western Mediterranean so that they could complete Harbour Acceptance Trials and Sea Acceptance Trials.{{Citation needed|date=March 2011}} On 20 March both ships left the Mediterranean for home, however on the way a storm blew up forcing them to take refuge in Lisbon.{{Citation needed|date=March 2011}} The two newest additions to the Navy finally arrived on 29 March 1971, and were used for training and fisheries protection.[4]

Decommissioning and fate

In 1987, Fola was decommissioned and sold to Spanish interests for breaking.[2]
