Шаблон:Infobox ship imageШаблон:Infobox ship careerШаблон:Infobox ship characteristicsHMS Thornham was one of 93 ships of the Шаблон:Sclass2 of inshore minesweepers.
Their names were all chosen from villages ending in -ham. The minesweeper was named after Thornham in Norfolk.
She was converted in 1967 at Rosyth Dockyard for use by the Aberdeen University Naval Unit.
In 1978, HMS Thornham became the first foreign warship to visit the Danish city of Roskilde since the Viking times,[1] when the five Skuldelev ships were sunk in the waterway of Peberrenden, 20 km north of the city.
HMS Thornham gave its ship's bell to Thornham Church in 1969, and it is rung to signal the two minutes' silence on Remembrance Sunday.
