HMS Chimera (CLAC-07) is a Minotaur-class LAC Carrier within Tenth Fleet.
History
Commissioned 21 August 2012 via BuShips Directive 1208-02.
Note: BuShips Directive 1208-02 listed her as a "Chimera"-class vessel. Later documents, and MEDUSA, have her as a Minotaur-class. The earlier class is presumed to be an error.
Decommissioned 19 September 2014, crew transferred to HMS Penelope (BC-585).
Recommissioned 12 December 2018 via BuShips Directive 1812-02.
