Royal Naval Ship
As a prelude to Navy Days, HMS
Montrose, a type 23 Duke Class Frigate
will be visiting us from Friday 21 May
to Sunday 23 May 2010.
The ship will berth at the Kings Dock
and will be open to members of the
public on Saturday 22 May 2010
from 10.00am to 4.00pm.
HMS Montrose (pictured above) is now
back in the public eye after an extensive
multi-million pound 9 month upkeep
period. The Upkeep saw significant
improvements in capability and efficiency
as well as a large turnover of the 17
personnel.
Commencing sea trials in September
2009 in order to test the ship’s machinery
and new equipment, HMS Montrose
returned to her Base Port, Devonport,
in mid October 2009. The new
Commanding Officer, Cdr J D Lett RN,
assumed Command of HMS Montrose
in December 2009.
On 11 February 2010 HMS Montrose
was confirmed by Navy Command to be
in a satisfactory material condition and
was formally accepted back in to the
operational fleet.l Naval Ship
