 Science Fair Projects - HMS Scott (H131)
HMS Scott (H131) is an ocean-going survey vessel of the Royal Navy.
Not only is she the largest vessel in the Fleet's Hydrographic Squadron, and the seventh largest in the entire fleet, but she is also the largest survey vessel in Western Europe.
She was ordered in 1995 to replace the ageing HMS Hecla; she was built at the Appledore Shipyard in North Devon and commissioned on 20th June 1997.

When the ocean survey vessel HMS Hecla (A133) left service in 1997, she was one of the oldest serving ships in the Royal Navy, having first commissioned in 1965.
Firstly, at 13,500-tonnes HMS Scott was much bigger than the vessel she replaced and she was also the largest survey vessel in Western Europe.
Thirdly, HMS Scott was fitted with the very latest equipment and represented a vast technological improvement over her predecessors, capable of working in deeper waters and of processing information at a much greater rate: she could map an area of seabed in a matter of hours, when it would have taken her predecessor several days.
