Royal Navy Type 23 Frigate HMS Monmouth
Type 23 frigate HMS Monmouth cuts through the English Channel on her way to a deployment in the Middle East.
The 13 Type 23 or Duke-class frigates are the core of the front-line Fleet. They can typically be found east of Suez, safeguarding Britains vital maritime trade routes or Britains interests in the South Atlantic.
Based in Portsmouth and Devonport, the ships were designed to deal with the Soviet submarine threat but in the 20 years since the fall of Communism, the frigates have proven their versatility by dealing with virtually every mission imaginable in the four corners of the globe - as well as maintaining that original mission of submarine hunting, aided by the worlds finest sonar and either a Merlin or Lynx helicopter

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Royal Navy Type 23 Frigate HMS Monmouth gracefully glides through the serene waters of the English Channel, embarking on a crucial deployment to the Middle East. As one of the esteemed 13 Type 23 or Duke-class frigates, HMS Monmouth stands as an integral part of Britain's front-line Fleet. These formidable vessels are primarily stationed east of Suez, diligently safeguarding vital maritime trade routes and protecting British interests in the South Atlantic. With their home bases in Portsmouth and Devonport, these ships were initially designed to counteract the Soviet submarine threat during the Cold War era. However, over two decades since Communism's fall, these versatile frigates have proven their mettle by successfully undertaking diverse missions across all corners of our planet. Equipped with cutting-edge technology such as world-class sonar systems and either a Merlin or Lynx helicopter at their disposal, these frigates excel not only in their original mission of submarine hunting but also adapt seamlessly to address any mission imaginable. As this print captures HMS Monmouth majestically slicing through the waves, it symbolizes both her unwavering commitment to national security and her ability to traverse vast distances while upholding peace and stability worldwide. The image serves as a testament to the resilience and prowess embodied by every member serving aboard this remarkable vessel.
