The ship achieved full operational capability status in November 2024 which means that the vessel can operate fully as part of the Naval Service Fleet conducting Maritime Defence and Security Operations. One of the primary roles of the LÉ Aoibhinn is to protect critical maritime infrastructure and to enhance the maritime situational awareness off our coast.
