Based on the frigate HMS Juno (F52) which was on a visit to Malta. On 4 June 1975 suffered an uncontrolled yaw to port and ditched next to HMS Juno in the Mediterranean when the ship was on its way to Malta. The three crew were rescued. The Wasp was recovered but declared a write-off on 8 December 1975 and dumped at Fleetlands.
