In brief

About HMS Bangor

Full article ↗

HMS Bangor is a Sandown-class minehunter commissioned by the Royal Navy in 2000, which was designed to hunt naval mines in depths of up to 200 m (660 ft) using the Sonar 2093 Variable Depth Sonar (VDS). This means that she can conduct mine clearance operations throughout the continental shelf. She is named after the Northern Ireland seaside city of the same name, and the second Royal Navy vessel to bear the name. As of January 2024, she was the last vessel of her class in active Royal Navy service.
In 2025, HMS Bangor began an overhaul to extend its life for a further five years of service.

In context

How HMS Bangor compares

Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.

HMS Bangor was built in 2000, making it 26 years old. It is one of 1,296 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,737 GT. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 23 vessels to VT Group, with a median tonnage of 625 GT, delivered between 1981 and 2007. See the rest of that yard’s output.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 4906783 this registry holds 31 other vessels, whose median build year is 1983 and which range from 1945 to 2008. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2000.

Its IMO number, 4906783, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 4×7 + 9×6 + 0×5 + 6×4 + 7×3 + 8×2 = 143 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
