HMS Dumbarton Castle (P265)
- HMS Dumbarton Castle (P265)
HMS "Dumbarton Castle" (P265) was an offshore patrol vessel of the British Royal Navy. Her main role was the protection of the offshore assets of the United Kingdom, including oil and gas installations and fisheries out to the 200 mile (370 km) limit.
She spent much of her time deployed in the South Atlantic as guard ship, patrolling around the Falkland Islands and South Georgia, alternating with her sister HMS "Leeds Castle". Her long association with the Falkland Islands resulted in the ship's company being given permission to add her name to the roll of honour written in white rocks on the hillside opposite Stanley in 2007.
"Dumbarton Castle" was replaced by a River class-based vessel, HMS "Clyde", in early 2008.
