Commissioned in January 1978, she was named after Emer, the principal wife of C\u00fachulainn, a legendary Irish folk hero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was an improved version of the sole of class Deirdre and similar to L\u00c9 Aoife (P22) and L\u00c9 Aisling (P23). She was commissioned on 16 January 1978 and had 35 years of service with the Irish Naval Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Decommissioned on 20 September 2013, in October 2013 Emer was sold at auction for \u20ac320,000 to a Nigerian businessman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In July 2014 Emer was impounded by the Nigerian Navy because the new owner had failed to secure the necessary military approval before bringing the ship into Nigerian waters. On 19 February 2015 Emer was commissioned into the Nigerian Navy as a training ship and renamed NNS Prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><div id=\"metaslider-id-257\" style=\"width: 100%;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-62-0 metaslider metaslider-flex metaslider-257 ml-slider ms-theme-default nav-hidden\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"Slideshow\" aria-label=\"NOW NNS PROSPERITY WITH THE NIGERIAN NAVY\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_257\">\n        <div id=\"metaslider_257\">\n            <ul aria-live=\"polite\" class=\"slides\">\n                <li style=\"display: block;
