HMS Rendlesham (M2724)

HMS Rendlesham (M2724) was a Ham-class minesweeper of the Royal Navy. These vessels were designed for inshore minesweeping duties. The Ham class took their name from British villages ending in "-ham."

Specific details regarding the operational history of HMS Rendlesham (M2724) are somewhat limited in readily available public sources. However, it is known that as a Ham-class minesweeper, she would have participated in routine patrols, mine clearance operations (both training and potentially real-world post-conflict clearance), and exercises as part of the Royal Navy's contribution to maritime safety and security.

The Ham class were constructed with wooden hulls to reduce their magnetic signature, making them less susceptible to magnetic mines. This was a key feature for their role in minesweeping. They were relatively small vessels, designed for maneuverability in coastal waters and estuaries.

Following decommissioning, many Ham-class minesweepers were sold for scrap or converted for other uses. Further information on the specific fate of HMS Rendlesham (M2724) would require more extensive research of naval records.
