As its name implies, a Recommissioned Escort is a retired Imperial Navy Destroyer or Corvette-class ship that has been repurposed for more...[[Rogue Trader|private hands]], to defend their precious cargo.

Being the opportunistic individuals they invariably are, it is not uncommon for Rogue Traders to [[Blood Ravens|"acquire‟]] decommissioned Navy vessels or those relegated to a Segmentum‟s reserve fleet. Despite typically being in poor condition, it is well within most Rogue Trader's means to refit and restore such a vessel, sometimes using systems and technology [[Heresy|quite unlike its original components.]]

Due to the weapons mounted by such vessels such as [[torpedo]] tubes, an experienced crew is needed to man true warships such as this. Rogue Traders will typically recruit mercenaries, retired Naval ratings and able spacers or even deserters and mutineers.
