The Royal Navy's newest and 'greenest' ship has joined the fleet. HMS Tamar, a Batch-2 River-class offshore patrol vessel (OPV), raised the White Ensign from her deck for the first time, on the river in south-west England that shares her name. Over the past few weeks, the ship has been carrying out acceptance trials around Plymouth Sound and the south-west sea training areas. The Navy said HMS Tamar is also the service's greenest ship, due to catalytic converters which reduce nitrogen-based emissions from her engine exhausts by up to 95%.
