Stora M, probably ex-M24, now a diving boat

Photographed on 4 January 2009 in Öckerö shipyard.
I think this is M24, now called Stora M and conversted from a minesweeper into a diving boat to search for underwater wrecks. Compare with a sister boat, shown in picture #2319.
M24 was built in 1941 at the Norrköping Yard, of mahogany and steel. Length; 28 m, Beam: 5 m. Served as a minesweeper and wreck clearance vessel. Most recently a school ship in the Swedish Navy Training Division. Equipped with two Scania diesel engines, 265 hp eachand two 220 V electrical generators. An oil-fired boiler provides heating and hot water.

Confirmed today, 31 March 2009, that this was M24, and is a diving boat, after a chat with a crew member.
