In addition to being a unique historic asset, not only as an exemplar of a capital warship from the Age of Sail, but as a warship with a famous fighting career, HMS Victory continues to be a significant visitor attraction within the setting of No. 2 Dock and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. Furthermore, HMS Victory continues to serve as a commissioned warship, and is the Flagship of the Royal Navy's First Sea Lord. It is also for these reasons that it is imperative to sustain her considerable heritage values for this and future generations. The overall aim of the conservation project is to keep HMS Victory in the open air for 50 years, requiring only routine conservation maintenance. The NMRN wishes to conduct materials trials of paint, caulking materials and fixings in order to evaluate and down-select the materials most suited to meet the long term requirement, and is seeking assistance to conduct these trials.
