As a result of the Royal Navy’s experiences in the Cod Wars with Iceland, FPV Jura (loaned to the Navy as HMS\u00a0Jura) and FPV Westra were put in fishery protection patrols, the Navy built a further seven. These ships were designed and built by Hall Russell of Aberdeen, Scotland.Table of ContentsFishery protection cruisers[edit]Royal Navy offshore fishery protection ships[edit]Ships in class[edit]Disposal[edit]References[edit][edit]Bibliography[edit]Fishery protection cruisers[edit]FPV Jura and FPV Westra were built by Hall, Russell & Company of Aberdeen in 1973 and 1975 respectively. Jura was loaned to the Royal Navy between 1975 and 1977 for evaluation.[1]Royal Navy offshore fishery protection ships[edit]The success of Jura encouraged the Royal Navy to build a further seven ships to the same design; these ships formed the bulk of the Fishery Protection Squadron, whose mission was to patrol the Atlantic fishing grounds, and ensure the security of the British oil and gas fields in the North Sea. However, since the mid-1990s, the class has been gradually decommissioned; Jersey was sold to the Bangladesh Navy in 1994, to be followed by Shetland, Alderney, Anglesey, Guernsey and Lindisfarne, with Orkney going to Trinidad and Tobago. The Island class was replaced in the Fishery Protection Squadron by the three ships of the River class.Ships in class[edit]NamePennant numberBuilderLaid downLaunchedCommissionedStatusJura class OPVs (2)FPV JuraP296 (HMS Jura)Hall, Russell & Company1973It was the design basis for the 7 Island class OPVs.

According to one source the ship sold to Government of the Islamic Republic of Mauretania in 1992. She was broken up in Portugal in November 2001.[2]FPV WestraHall, Russell & Company19741975Sister ship of FPV Jura.

They are Karotoa (ex-Alderney), Kapatakhaya (ex-Shetland), Turag (ex-Lindisfarne), Gomati (ex-Anglesey) and Sangu (ex-Guernsey). Another ex-Royal Navy Island-class vessel, Jersey, was used as the training ship, Shaheed Ruhul Amin. The final ship of the class, ex-Royal Navy vessel Orkney is in service with the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard and named TTS Nelson.The Scottish Fisheries Protection Agency Westra was sold to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society in 2006 and renamed MY\u00a0Steve Irwin. Jura was sold in 1988 and renamed Criscilla, and then N’Madi.  She was broken up in Portugal in November 2001.[3]References[edit][edit]Bibliography[edit]Richardson, Ian (February 2022). “Island Class Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV)”.
