  • 180725 A042 El Buque De La Royal Navy HMS Scimitar
    InfoGibraltar Servicio de Información de Gibraltar Aviso Ministerio de Defensa El buque de la Royal Navy HMS Scimitar se desplaza de operaciones al Algarve Gibraltar, 25 de julio de 2018 El [buque de la Royal Navy británica] HMS Scimitar ha vuelto recientemente al Peñón tras realizar unas maniobras conjuntas con la Armada portuguesa lejos de entorno habitual. Tanto el HMS Scimitar como su nave gemela, el HMS Sabre, cuentan con escasas oportunidades de alejarse mucho de Gibraltar, pero el HMS Scimitar, una de las dos naves más pequeñas de la Royal Navy, realizó la travesía de casi 200 millas náuticas a la región portuguesa del Algarve, incluyendo escalas en la Base Naval de Portimão y la ciudad de Vilamoura. El buque se reunió en Portimão con la patrullera de clase-Centauro NRP Pegaso (P1157) para llevar a cabo diversos ejercicios de entrenamiento, incluyendo maniobras de oficiales de guardia, ejercicios [de comunicación y cooperación] PASSEX, así como los [ejercicios fotográficos] PHOTEX obligatorios. El principal rol del NRP Pegaso es la protección de la flota pesquera en la costa portuguesa, hasta el archipiélago de Madeira. El Oficial al Mando (Commanding Officer) del HMS Scimitar, el Teniente (Lieutenant) Tom Loxton manifestó: “Esta ha sido una oportunidad extraordinaria; no solo para planificar y realizar un trayecto de casi 400 millas náuticas en condiciones marítimas complejas, sino también para llevar a cabo un entrenamiento marítimo con un aliado de la OTAN”. Los buques HMS Scimitar y HMS Sabre componen el núcleo principal del Escuadrón de Gibraltar de la Royal Navy (Royal Navy Gibraltar Squadron) y a menudo pueden ser observados patrullando las Aguas Territoriales Británicas de Gibraltar o escoltando a unidades militares durante su entrada o salida del Territorio Británico de Ultramar.

Recién pintado y con un mantenimiento completo realizado a su maquinaria principal, la patrullera de 24 toneladas fue devuelta al Escuadrón de Gibraltar de la Royal Navy (Royal Navy Gibraltar Squadron, RNGS) por parte del contratista local Bolaños, tras haber completado su periodo anual de revisión y reparación (Annual Survey and Repair Period, ASRP). El mantenimiento, que requirió sacar el buque del agua mediante una grúa, ha incluido el vaciado y limpieza de todos los tanques, limpieza en profundidad y una revisión completa, tanto interna como externa, para asegurar que el buque resulte seguro en el mar. El cambio más obvio es la completa retirada de la pintura del casco inferior, la cual ha sido sustituida por una nueva capa de pintura roja antiincrustante con el objetivo de asegurar que el buque siempre pueda alcanzar la máxima velocidad sobre el agua. El Oficial al Mando (Commanding Officer), del HMS Scimitar, el Teniente Kyle Walkley, manifestó: “El HMS Scimitar y su nave gemela, el HMS Sabre, han operado en Gibraltar durante más de 15 años, tras haber servido en Irlanda del Norte durante 10 años anteriormente. Como todos los buques de guerra, requieren un extenso cuidado y mantenimiento para mantenerlos siempre dispuestos para las operaciones, de modo que este periodo anual de mantenimiento completo resulta esencial para su funcionamiento”.
