HMS Argyll
Royal Navy Type 23 frigate HMS Argyll.
The 3rd Royal Navy ship to bear the name, she is also the 3rd of the Royal Navys Duke class frigates and was commissioned on 30 May 1991.
She was built by Yarrow Shipbuilders in Glasgow to a revolutionary design with a superstructure shaped to minimise radar reflections and to make the ship as small as a fishing boat on the enemys radar, and with engines so quiet as to be inaudible, HMS Argyll represents the latest in naval technology.
The Ships Company is small, only 180 people although each one trained to be proficient in high-tech maritime warfare, whether controlling the engines or firing missiles

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mighty HMS Argyll, a remarkable Type 23 frigate belonging to the Royal Navy. As the third ship in its lineage and part of the esteemed Duke class frigates, it was commissioned on May 30th, 1991. Crafted by Yarrow Shipbuilders in Glasgow, this vessel boasts an innovative design that minimizes radar reflections and renders it as inconspicuous as a humble fishing boat on enemy radars. Furthermore, its engines operate with such stealth that they remain virtually inaudible. HMS Argyll stands at the forefront of naval technology, embodying cutting-edge advancements within its sleek structure. Despite being manned by a modest crew of only 180 individuals, each member is highly trained to excel in sophisticated maritime warfare techniques - whether they are controlling engines or launching missiles. The photograph itself captures the essence of this formidable warship against a backdrop that accentuates its power and grandeur. Taken by LA (Phot) Bernie Henesy from Armed Forces, this image serves as a testament to both the skillful craftsmanship behind HMS Argyll's construction and her significant role within the Royal Navy fleet
