HNOMS HINNOY

(click on thumbnail for larger image)  HINNOY leaves HMC Dockyard in Halifax prior to participating in MARCOT '98.  HINNOY again. Note how the water is stirred up by the hover fans under the ship. The kevlar skirt can be seen covering the space between the two hulls. A good profile shot of HINNOY. Looking closely, one can see how the deck at HINNOY's prow slopes down.  HINNOY while rafted up outside of HMS HURWORTH.  The bridge is at the left of this shot, and the twin Mistral SAM launcher is at the right.  The Mistral SAM is a shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missile: in this case, it is mounted on a special twin launcher. This is the bridge on HINNOY.  Taken on the upper deck of HINNOY, this shot looks forward to the bridge.  A close-up of the camera and forward thrusters on the Pluto ROV, which is used for minehunting.  HINNOY carries two of these Pluto ROVs. Once the ROV has found a mine, it can destroy it by dropping a explosive charge (which it can carry under its belly) beside the mine.  The quarterdeck on HINNOY. The two Pluto ROVs are on either side of the ship, and the two hydraulic hoists used to launch the ROVs into the water are also seen here.
