History

Mull of Galloway was built by North Vancouver Ship Repair and was launched in October 1944. It was first commissioned by the Royal Navy in May 1945 as a heavy repair ship. In 1947 it was placed into reserve where it acted as the headquarters ship for the Senior Officer Reserve Fleet, Clyde. It was then decommissioned in 1949 for several years, but was re-commissioned in 1954 as a headquarters ship for the Inshore Minesweeping Flotilla. The ship was placed back into reserve in 1957, and then in 1965 it was decommissioned again and sold for scrap. It was towed to Hamburg to be broken up in December 1965.[1][2][3]
