A lot haven't, but a surprising many have. There are still a lot of veteran, more or less first-generation, ORSVs still on the go.

What a shame she has been broken up, she would have been ideal for fisheries protection duties, still there will be some spare British Crewed vessels of this type laid up in Aberdeen, other Ports are available upon request.
I wonder if we will have an incident like we had in 1972 with our very own HMS Kellington (scrapped on the Tees) when she arrested a French Trawler for illegal fishing and escorted her into Fishguard only to be followed by the French Warship La Agile which steamed into Port without permission causing a diplomatic incident.
