Former RMAS Aberdovey
Former RMAS Aberdovey was the lead vessel of the RMAS Aberdovey Class of Naval Fleet Tenders.
Aberdovey was RMAS but only for a short period, she was the Royal Marines training ship and as she was commanded by a serving officer she was uniquely HMFT Aberdovey.
In her later years in-service she was utilised as a Sea Cadet Corps Training Vessel once based in Portsmouth.
Photographed here on on the Gare Loch in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is the nearest town to the HMNB Clyde naval base. Garelochhead lies 7 miles northwest of Helensburgh. Loch Lomond is a few miles to the east, and Loch Long to the west.
