Everything about Hms Sutherland F81 totally explained
HMS
Sutherland (F81) is a
Type 23 frigate of the
Royal Navy. She is the thirteenth ship in the
Duke class of frigates and is the third ship to bear the name, more than 200 years since the name was last used.
She was launched in 1996 by Lady Christina Walmsley, wife of
Sir Robert Walmsley KCB. Before this occasion, Royal Navy ships had always been launched with a bottle of
champagne, but Lady Walmsley broke with tradition and used a bottle of
Macallan Whiskey.
She was deployed to the
Falkland Islands in the winter 1988/1989. In 2000, she was part of the task force NTG2000, the first time Royal Navy ships have circumnavigated the globe since 1986. In December 2007, major upgrades worth ₤35 million were announced. This makes HMS
Sutherland the most powerful frigate in the fleet.
There is a keen
golfing community on-board, and the crew sometimes use the facilities of their affiliate
golf course in the Royal Burgh of
Dornoch.
