DescriptionIrish Naval Service - LÉ Eithne (4673892752).jpg
English: Irish Naval Service
LÉ Eithne was built in Ireland as a helicopter patrol vessel. The equipment fit was to a very high standard and included the Naval Service's first Operations room which integrated control of armament and aircraft to a designated centre, remote from the bridge. Her main armament is a BOFORS 57mm anti-aircraft gun with a LIOD fire control system. Secondary armament is provided by two 20mm Rheinmetals. Eithne is also equipped with the DAO5 Air Surveillance Radar. In the summer of 1986 LÉ Eithne scored a notable first, by becoming the first Irish Naval Service ship to cross the Atlantic, when she sailed to the United States, visiting Hamilton, New York and Boston.
