echo class survey vessel

The two ships of Echo class are the latest vessels to join the Royal Navy's Hydrographic Squadron. Given the names Echo and Enterprise, each ship displaces approximately 3,500 tonnes, and is equipped with a state of the art suite of equipment, including:

Multi beam echo sounder
Single beam echo sounder
Survey Planning and Processing Systems
Side-scan sonar
Oceanographic Probe and sensors
Undulating Oceanographic Profiler
Doppler Current Log
Sub-bottom Profiler
Bottom Sampling Equipment
Survey Motor Boat fitted with multi beam sonar and sidescan sonar

The two ships follow the same type of crew rotation pattern as HMS Scott, in that 2/3 of their crew is needed to keep the ship operational, with the remaining 1/3 ashore. This allows each ship to be available for deployment for up to 330 days a year. As with other Royal Navy survey vessels, Echo and Enterprise can also be used to support mine-warfare vessels.
