TYPE 23 FRIGATE HMS SOMERSET

The Duke-class Type 23 frigate HMS Somerset in the rain and mist of Plymouth Sound this morning.

HMS Somerset is one of 12 remaining Type 23 frigates (four general-purpose frigates and eight configured for anti-surface warfare) that entered service from the late 1980s, and is the eleventh ship in the class overall.

The Somerset will be able to remain in service until the early 2030s following her recent extensive refit.
