Sadly we have not had a visit from HMS Hurworth for over four years due to the mineseeker vessel being deployed in the Middle East. The crews are regularly rotated and flown out from the UK to take up their duties. With the ongoing tense situation in the Gulf area it is difficult to predict when we are likely to have the pleasure of a ships company visit.
