At the cost of around 4 million quid? The RN has more important things to spend that type of cash on.

I'm afraid 'old Caroline' is in bad nick and cannot be used even for RNR office accommodation - asbesdos has been mentioned so she fails to meet the legal H&S requirement for offices.
Word is the RNR is going to a shore base in NI... and the old dear is to be scrapped as Navy/Mod aint got money to fix her up - even as a museum piece?
And yes - Belfast do want to keep her as she is slap bang in the middle of the new 'Titanic Quarter' multi-pound developement and she's been part of the Belfast sky line for as long as I have been around...!
