The decommissioned former Royal Fleet Auxiliary Sir Tristram, which was bombed at Fitzroy, during the Falkland Islands conflict will drydock in number four dock at Falmouth on Thursday on the early morning tide. A&P Falmouth has won the multi-million pound MOD contract to convert the vessel into a static training ship for the Royal Marines.
Sir Tristram is being towed to Falmouth from Portsmouth by the new Spanish anchor handling tug Red Wolf. The tugs Ankorva and Percuil will meet the tow off the lighthouse after which Sir Tristram will drydock stern first.
