In brief

About HMS Justice

Full article ↗

HMS Justice (W-140), a Royal Navy ship classified as a rescue tug, was built in the United States as U.S. Navy ATR-1-class rescue tug ATR-20. Never commissioned into the U.S. Navy, she was transferred to the Royal Navy under Lend-Lease at delivery. Returned to the U.S. after the end of World War II, she was redesignated BATR-20. Struck and sold for commercial service in 1946, she was eventually grounded at Ushuaia, Argentina and abandoned.

How HMS Justice 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.

United Kingdom is the country of registry for 2,394 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,835 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,515 GT. Browse every ship flagged United Kingdom.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 62 tugs flying the United Kingdom flag.

HMS Justice was built in 1944, making it 82 years old. It is one of 174 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 7,176 GT. Across the whole of the 1940s the registry holds 1,039 vessels, median 4,053 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 1 vessels to Camden Shipbuilding & Marine Railway Co., delivered between 1944 and 1944. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 50.4 m overall, HMS Justice is 18.1 m longer than the 32.3 m median for tugs on record, with a beam of 33.0 m and a draft of 15.0 m.

Its IMO number, 6133322, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 6×7 + 1×6 + 3×5 + 3×4 + 3×3 + 2×2 = 88 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 2. It does not, so this number as recorded does not validate; it is shown here as held rather than silently corrected.
