HMS Cattistock will be docked alongside Poole Quay in Dorset on the 4th May, with the Freedom Scroll being presented by the mayor at 2pm, and the entire ship’s company, led by the Royal Marines band, will parade through the town.


The ship was commissioned in 1982, and is affiliated to the town of Poole and the village of Cattistock near Dorchester.
