Paying a quick visit to Loch Long today, the Type 23 'Duke' class anti-submarine frigate NORTHUMBERLAND arrived early this morning, and sailed for sea again this afternoon. Built, as her name might imply, on the Tyne by Swan Hunter, she joined the Royal Navy in November 1994, and has just completed an extensive maintenance period which included upgrades to her navigation systems, steering gear, and sonar. During the next few weeks, NORTHUMBERLAND will be undergoing operational sea training. She is due to remain in commission with the Navy until 2022.Wednesday, 7 May 2008
