HMS Neasham

HMS Neasham

HMS "Neasham" was one of 93 ships of the sclass|Ham|minesweeper|0 of inshore minesweepers.

Their names were all chosen from villages ending in "-ham". The minesweeper was named after Neasham in County Durham.

Despite being completed on 15 November 1957, "Neasham" was held in operational reserve in a land cradle at Rosneath on the Clyde until 1967. She was then transferred to the Royal Australian Navy. After a period at the RAN base at Garden Island, she was converted into a diving tender and renamed "Porpoise" (DTV 1002 & Y.280) on 13 June 1973.
