HMS Protector


British Antarctic Territory issued a new commemorative stamp on 21st December 2012 dedicated to the legendary HMS Protector. HMS Protector is an impressive and incredibly versatile survey and Ice Patrol Ship. The ship is on loan to the Navy in order to fill the void left by Britain's long-serving Antarctic patrol ship, HMS Endurance, following her flooding in late 2008.
