The vessel is one of the Royal Navy’s four hydrographic ships, which came into service in 1986.
The Ministry of Defence will use the money saved by the cuts on purchasing 22 Chinook helicopters and other equipment for British troops serving in Afghanistan.
The 1,477t survey ship can accommodate a crew complement of 52.
The Roebuck is equipped with a full suite of hydrographic sensors and a survey motor boat for inshore work, although it can operate as a support ship for mine warfare vessels.
