HMS MONTROSE RETURNS TO SEA

30-year-old HMS Montrose has returned to sea after a short period of maintenance, and resumes operations duties until her formal decommissioning in the Spring.

Her homecoming at Christmas was very emotional for her crew and families after a 4-year deployment in the Gulf.
