I was on my way to Baghdad when this happened with 2nd Royal Tank Bn and Royal MCommando's 1st Bn Weapons serving with 2FSSG tdy with 1TSG and 8th ESB 2FSSG...
I remember her running contractors trials out of Swans in 92. Thundering up the measured mile on the Speys off the Tyne and up to Church Point. Saw her really having fun doing standard manouvers off Tynemouth. A fantastic Tyne built warship. Have a nice life in South America girl. You are with the best navy down there.
We have on order much newer ships so our navy will be larger hehe.... shes a fine ship, i hope u take good care of her :-p see my royal navy fleet video
