Identify the Frigates...

[Robert Wilson]

Money. Still there is a Type 26 on the cards. BAE have done the outline design just need to decide what they want to put in it now.

And if it goes like the TSR2, it'll never get into commission.

A fair bit of lantern swinging, this morning.

"Did I ever tell you about......"

Have they not started putting the T45's up Fareham Creek yet then?

 

[DJE]

And whatever happened to the Rame Head? She was there so long that they put her on the chart and was a handy landmark when returning home in the dark.

More likely they will order and pay for 12 and end up with 4.

My last ship was the Brilliant in 87 but I was a 21 man at heart despite they faults.

They seem to be Batch 3 Type 22s, decommissioned February - June 2011:
F99 Cornwall
F85 Cumberland
F86 Campbeltown
F87 Chatham
Don't know how to tell them apart.

Wasn't HMS Cornwall the RN vessel involved in the most embarassing debacle (Iran) for the RN since I don't know when?

Frigates

These are not OLD frigates. I go back to the Loch and Castle class. They really are old. Do any survive?
Also HMS Cumberland when I was her navigating officer, had three funnels.
Roll on the Rodney,and Nelson, Renown,
This three-funnel ******* is getting me down.
Now which was the other of those I served in.?
