HMS NARVIK 

Served as Depot Ship to 108 Minesweeper Squadron in Malta during 1960 - 64.

Keith Huddy advised on 19 June 2025 a story of ship preservation by the Medway Maritime Trust at Chatham Dockyard that is worthy of an article in its own right.

Sometime during 1970's the former HMS Narvik was reduced to a pontoon i.e. engines removed and upperworks cut down to the tank deck, giving a flat surface  200 ft long by 50 ft wide.

Since March 2009 she has housed the paddle tug John Amos, itself an Historic Vessel undergoing extensive renovation. John Amos was the last paddle tug built in Britain for civilian use on the river Tees, Clydeside in 1931. She has a fascinating, if not always distinguished, history.

A Google search on John Amos Tug is rewarding.

Ship Histories

Notes on each village after which our TONs were named have been added to the Ship Histories section of the website. 

Please check on your ships and see if you can add more detail.
