HMS Scott (H131)
The survey, conducted using a high-resolution, multi-beam sonar system, revealed that the earthquake had made a huge impact on the topography of the seabed.[7] On 26 October 2009[7] and again on 25 November 2010[8] the ship deployed to the South Atlantic and Antarctic to cover for the non-availability of the Royal Navy icebreaker HMS Endurance.[13] With the task of Antarctic patrol taken over by HMS Protector in that year,[14] Scott left Devonport in September to resume deep-water surveying, initially in the Atlantic.This included coating the hull with Hempasil X3 non-toxic anti-fouling paint, which is expected to increase her fuel efficiency.It has been reported that Scott would now carry at least one of the new 11-metre survey module variants of the Sea-class workboats being procured for various tasks in the Royal Navy.
