During the docking and repair maintenance period, Babcock restored the air conditioning system, added new equipment to galley, and replaced fire detection system.

The company also replaced the port main engine crankshaft after the engine was overhauled and rebuilt.

Other works include modification to fit duplex sea suction strainers, additional isolating valves to the sea-water system inlet, and new anti-foul paint system to the hull.

"The significant extent of the work conducted means HMS Scott’s material state has in effect been re-baselined ahead of her next phase of fleet time operations."

Babcock warships programme support manager Mark Harvey said: "This has been a hugely complex and challenging deep maintenance period, and the significant extent of the work conducted means HMS Scott’s material state has in effect been re-baselined ahead of her next phase of fleet time operations."
