I can only find reference to tankers being built on Tyneside in the 70s... was it a tanker?

Catfish · 11-19-20, 03:50 PM

I have no clue at all.
A civilian ship, being exported and armed right after this by another nation.. does not look like a tanker, but - no idea.

Sunderland built?

Yes and FYI there were other types than just tankers built but I do agree the majority were tankers.

Clue:It could well be on the list below.

Spot on Kai but it was not fitted with the 76mm OTO Melara until 1993 having had the gun removed prior to delivery.

Ordered by the Government of Iran prior to the revolution of 02/1979
1980: Armament of 1 x 76mm gun removed before delivery
Capable of carrying 2 x helicopters with hangar facilities
1984: Delivery delayed due to Iraq-Iran War
1993: Re-armed with 1 x 76mm, 2 x 2 x 23mm guns

after the UK government approved her export without any armaments on the grounds that she is "not suitable for use in the war against Iraq".

Only one yard open now with approximately 25 employees but have built in excess of 1,600 vessels in all.
