HMS Caroline, the last surviving warship of the Battle of Jutland, will be preserved for the nation as a result of an agreement to gift the ship to the National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN).
Following negotiations between the Ministry of Defence, the Northern Ireland Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment and the NMRN, the Minister of State for Defence Personnel, Welfare and Veterans, Mark Francois, has announced the gifting of HMS Caroline to the NMRN.
The move will allow the museum to bid for external funding for her restoration and preservation.
