Well spotted Patrick. I've never seen "POR" on the stern of a HMS before. Is this unique?

The River Class were originally leased from VT before being purchased in, I think, 2013. Presumably the display of a port of registry relates to their ultimate owners initially being a commercial organisation.

Ahhh, that makes sense. Thanks Dennis.
