HMS Pembroke was a Sandown-class minehunter of the Royal Navy (RN), the second ship launched from the class' second batch, with several improvements over the first five built.
Posted for three years to the Persian Gulf between 2009 and 2012, Pembroke was later deployed in international exercises and historic unexploded ordnance detection in home waters. She was the first of the RN Mine Countermeasures Vessels fitted with the Oceanographic Reconnaissance Combat Architecture system which replaced the previous NAUTIS system in early 2020.
As part of RN plans to replace all mine countermeasures vessels with autonomous uncrewed vessels, a decommissioning service and Freedom of Pembroke parade was held on 23 July 2023. She was decommissioned as of January 2024 and to be renamed M271 Căpitan Constantin Dumitrescu when she enters Romanian Navy service.
