HMS WARRIOR, the first ironclad ship built for the Royal Navy, launched 1860, became the oil fuel hulk C.77 at Pembroke Dock from 1929 to 1979. 

She was towed into the Milford dry dock for initial repairs, before her full restoration at Hartlepool, after which she became a museum ship at Portsmouth.

The JAMES WARD, 26 grt, was built in 1948.
