, The former Royal Navy assault ship HMS Intrepid, a key part of the fleet that led the campaign to retake the Falkland Islands 25 years ago, is expected to be recycled at a British facility, the Ministry of Defence announced today.
The 12,000 tonne vessel, which has been moored in Portsmouth harbour since she left service in 1999, has been replaced in service by the much larger, more capable and better equipped assault ship HMS Albion.
Leavesley International has been selected as preferred bidder for the task of recycling HMS Intrepid and will now apply for the necessary licences and approvals. When the company has secured these permissions MoD expects to be in a position to place a contract for the task.
The preferred bidder status has been awarded by the MOD
