History
Commissioned in November of 2017, HMS Unicorn served in Second Fleet out of Rochester, Minnesota, initially under the command of CAPTSG Sir Garret Bitker; her initial crew transferred over from HMS Merlin, which was returned to the Active Reserve.[1] Less than a fortnight later, Unicorn was assigned as a unit of Task Group 21.1, replacing the now-decommissioned Merlin.[2]
In early January of 2018, the 30th LAC Wing was stood up, assigning HMLAC Superior, HMLAC Sgian Dubh, and SMLAC Arminius to Unicorn[3]; later in May of that same year, command shifted to the then-COLAC, Captain (JG) Jeremy Kittleson.[4]
HMS Unicorn was decommissioned on 17 January 2020, her crew transferred to HMSS Greenwich.[5]
