Farewell former RSS Resolution L204

You heard it here first: We hear that the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) could stage an Appreciation Ceremony of sorts for the hulk of the former RSS Resolution (L204), a tank landing ship (LST) that was decommissioned decades ago. The ceremony could be held next Tuesday (22 Oct) at Tuas Naval Base, where the ship is berthed, prior to a date with the scrapyard.

The former Resolution is the last example of a warship from the early days of Singapore's navy.

In November 2021, RSN veterans launched a campaign to preserve the decommissioned LST as a museum exhibit. This was turned down in January 2022.

Bon voyage former Reso. We will miss you dearly.

Good to see you're still writing David. Never properly thanked you for your help with holding MINDEF accountable for Enhuai's death. I wonder if they'd have just gotten away with it if you hadn't reached out to me on the forums all those years ago and then asked them about it.
