After decommissioning, HMS Enterprise (A71) was purchased by record producer Tom Newman, who spent 10 years turning the ship into a floating radio station and recording studio. Newman had a dream to offer the opportunity of becoming involved in music to youths from conflict areas around the world, and he formed an organization called Pirates for Peace. Enterprise became the headquarters for that organization and, as of November 2005, was homeported at Kilkeel, on the southeastern coast of Northern Ireland, still serving in the cause of peace.
