Type 23 Frigates HMS Richmond and HMS Westminster

The Type 23s are the mainstay ships of the modern surface fleet and form approximately 50% of the destroyer/frigate force. 13 Type 23 frigates form 50% of the total frigate/destroyer force in the Royal Navy. Originally designed for the principal task of anti-submarine warfare, they have evolved into powerful and versatile multi purpose ships with the capability to operate anywhere in the world. The effectiveness of these ships is enhanced by their stealth design, which reduces their radar signature significantly. In addition to the war fighting roles described above, the ship is trained to conduct a wide range of other tasks.

Type 22 Frigates HMSCumberland

HMS Cumberland is the second of four Batch 3 Type 22 frigates and the sixteenth ship of the name. Cumberland was built on the Clyde by Yarrow Shipbuilders Ltd and subsequently commissioned in her base port of Devonport in June 1989.

The present HMS Cumberland has deployed worldwide continuing a distinguished history. During World War Two, four battle honours were awarded to the previous Cumberland in recognition of operations in North Africa, the Arctic, Sabang and Burma. The ship is affiliated to the County of Cumbria, formerly Cumberland, and is a proud "Ambassador for Cumbria".

Mine Counter Measures (MCM) Vessel HMS Cattistock

These large mine countermeasures vessels can both hunt mines, using their advanced sonar and sweep them using influence sweeps. They were the first class of ships in the world to be constructed of fibre reinforced plastic to reduce vulnerability to magnetic influence mines.

Fishery Protection Vessel HMS Tyne

First of the River Class Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs) built for Fishery Protection around the UK. These OPVs, including sister ships HMS Severn and HMS Mersey, have taken over from the Island Class. HMS Tyne was built in Woolston Docks, Southampton and is based at HM Naval Base Portsmouth. More recently the river class patrol vessels appeared in Channel 5's Sea Patrol.
