Built by Hawthorne Leslie and launched on the 12th December, 1966, Sir Tristram was one of six 'Sir Lancelot' Class logistic landing ships, and one of three built by Hawthorne Leslie (the others being Sir Bedivere, 1966, and Sir Percivale, 1967). Designed to displace 5674 tons fully loaded, they were initially chartered by shipping companies, but were taken over by the Royal Fleet Auxiliary in 1980. Sent to the Falklands in company with Sir Galahad, she survived being bombed and returned in 1983 when she underwent a refit, being lengthened 29 feet and fitted with a new bridge. Retired in December 2005, she is now berthed in Portsmouth as a static training ship.
