Service history[]
Enterprise was the last of 12 United Kingdom Enterprises, a lineage that went back to the British Empire in 1705. For coastal patrols she used sonic depth finders. She aided in the search for the sunken 1912 RMS Titanic. The E-class hydrographic surveyor studied tides, coasts and seaways until 1986.
