HMS Mosquito (shore establishment)

HMS "Mosquito" was a Royal Navy coastal forces base at Alexandria, Egypt during the Second World War. The base was operational from 1942 to 1945 as a repair centre and base for coastal forces boats.
"Mosquito" was commissioned at Mahroussa Jetty on 15 February 1942. The base and slipways were situated alongside King Farouk's palace. The accounts were centralised at HMS "Nile" and "Mosquito" was established as an independent command. She had a nominated depot ship, the 16 foot "Dinghy No. 1955". The base was in operation until being paid off to Care and Maintenance on 1 December 1945.
