HMS Condor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Two vessels of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Condor after the condor, the largest flying land birds in the Western Hemisphere.

A former Royal Naval Air Station, HMS Condor at Arbroath, near Dundee became RM Condor in 1971. It is the base for 45 Commando, Royal Marines.
