The Irish Naval Service's former flagship is set to be recycled.
The L.É Eithne was towed out of Hawlbowline for the final time yesterday.
The decommissioned vessel gave 38 years service to the navy.
Today we said a sad goodbye to LE Eithne as the HPV departed the Naval Base for the final time. Built in Verolme in 1984, L.E. Eithne served Ireland for 38 years on missions at home and abroad prior to decommissioning as flagship.#navalservice #navy #bemore #oglaighnaheireann pic.twitter.com/BPU93EJTDL
